I'll sell you a self-driving car. Please be advised that it will drive into walls, fail to brake for stationary obstacles, drive straight off the road, and is in fact a Saturn with a brick on the gas pedal. I didn't say it was a good self-driving car.
Tesla doesn't have competition because they aren't in the game at all. They do not make self-driving cars and probably never will.
Tesla's business model (and stock valuation) is based on launching a robotaxi service. I'd say that this news introduces more competition for the robotaxi aspect, not the selling you a car aspect.
no but I can't do that with Tesla software either .... I can with comma.ai though....
eventually, you won't have to buy a car... there will be self-driving cars everywhere waiting for you to hop on.
