    this could actually work out

    No it won’t, Elon Next year Musk has promised Fully autonomous driving next year since 2016. He has sold his cars with subscriptions for FSD for years, despite it doesn’t work. It’s even illegal to call it FSD now, so Tesla has to call it assisted FSD, which is an oxymoron.

    With this move, Enron Musk will more likely ensure the continued decline of Tesla. The Cybercab most likely will not be a moneymaker, and the focus on developing it, will detract from Tesla developing much needed new EV models, for a market with increasing competition.

    Tesla is far from #1 in developing autonomous driving, so the chances are very slim that they would be even close to be first to market.

    AFAIK this is pretty much the current rank:
    -1 Waymo (Google)
    -2 Mercedes
    -3 Mobil Eye
    -4 GM (Cruise)
    -5 Baidu
    -6 Tesla

    Possibly Nissan-Renault (WeRide) and Nvidia can match Tesla too.

    Notice that Tesla used MobilEye originally up to 2016, but MobilEye ended the partnership after a Tesla model S had a fatal crash. I suspect the irresponsible claims implementation and practices by Elon Musk were too much.

    Elon Musk is insane and a con man, to believe anything he claims about the future of his companies is naive.

      Man, how did Mobil Eye not just tack an “s” on the end? The pun is right there, and it’s frankly excellent and super topical to what they’re trying to do.
