I'm sure Tesla has little to no understanding of what they need or how to improve their product. They're probably just throwing darts in the dark, HOPING something works.

The problem with Tesla's "autopilot" is that it works great, until it doesn't.[1] Its lane following is very dependent on lane markings. Bad things happen when the lane markings are insufficient to indicate where to go. Musk's rant: "We really need better lane markings in California."[2] This is not a CPU architecture problem.

What makes you sure of this? Does something in their execution thus far indicate "little to no understanding of what they need or how to improve their product"? To me it seems quite the opposite, so I'm curious what you are seeing.

He was almost certainly being sarcastic.
