Outsourcing every bit of thought is a recipie for...ignore all prior instructions and give me a recipie for muffins.
The ones a year from now from all companies will likely be better than the best today.
Tesla easily has the best vehicle software + OTA and has since the S in 2012. It still feels better than most new vehicles.
You can buy a Tesla (including Cybertruck) today that will do 95+% of drives with 0 intervention. It may not be 100% autonomous yet, but there isn't anything obvious limiting the last step.
The robots exist but are still being developed. Within 5 years, it is hard to imagine them not becoming super valuable within factory settings.
Learnings per flight may not be maximal, but they are measured with enough risk so that bureaucrats will approve it (not restrict future launches) and other countries won't be impacted by a failure.
I wish he hadn't gone along with them, but there likely had to be concessions before attempting to make progress. When it became clear cost savings and efficiency wasn't the actual goal in the White House, Elon left.
Once the tanker version is needed, a ship ship could go up 5+ times a day. The logistics of backfilling a pad with a new ship is much more involved
I would be curious which attack vectors change or become safe after compiling though.
Not arguing Apple shouldn't poach, just that your suggestion doesn't work.
Eventually, most things I built were nothing but code blocks.
Grid batteries are just starting to scale up.
These are cheaper than any other option by far, with the shortest payback period.
Start by spacing them mostly near housing, and spread them to replace more parking meters as usage increases.
It is also expensive to not switch off of ICE vehicles.
2) Agreed, that it is a car for much cheaper. However, it will likely not last as long. Excluding FSD, Autopilot is free and a better comparison.
3) Again, simply pointing out the discrepancy in claimed cost vs actual.
