I'm just going to say that to someone who has never experienced such a thing, it is still quite incredible. SV bubble is too real.

Like I get many here were expecting fully self-driving cars by 2020, but even what have right now is kinda mind-boggling.

When you consider that a lot of Tesla drivers are also

a) Elon Musk fanatics

b) shareholders trying to save face on behalf of the company

their reaction makes perfect sense.

Or, you know, they could just think it's cool.

I think the video works well with the two of them there - it lends some legitimacy to a video that could otherwise be dismissed as he's obviously enamored with the idea while the driver is more skeptical.

It’s pretty bizarre; there’s a definite feeling of artificial balance. Maybe it makes their videos more palatable to Tesla fans.
