Musk's problem is he says a lot of things are ready when they are not. He's been selling "full self driving" as an option for years, taking money for a feature that doesn't exist. Heck, this is just last year:
Quote:
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company should have robotaxis on the roads in 2020.
“I feel very confident predicting autonomous robotaxis for Tesla next year,” Musk said on stage at the Tesla Autonomy Investor Day in Palo Alto, California. They won’t be “in all jurisdictions, because we won’t have regulatory approval everywhere, but I am confident we will have at least regulatory approval somewhere, literally next year,” he said.
...
Musk also predicted that in two years, Tesla will be making cars with no steering wheels or pedals.

So he said that last year, yet in the past few months they "are starting to move towards recognizing red lights, crosswalks, etc. Just another step towards full self-driving."-Azure


How could Musk say robotaxis are coming, if just now they are starting to recognize traffic control devices? Seems to be a major disconnect, no? As to his prediction of no steering wheels in 2 years, well...come on.
