News today a self driving Tesla drives into the back of a vehicle.
False analogy. Henry Ford did not predict he would sell 100,000 Model A cars in 1903.
I hope it wasn’t a motorcycle.
If this gets much worse, rich Hollywood liberals aren’t going to want taxpayer-funded Teslas sitting in their driveways, demonstrating how global warmist they are.
He’s got a great racket.
Considering Tesla’s money woes Elon’s failure, this sound like the equivalent of You’re Fired.
So, basically, he will be motivated to drive up the "value" of the company's stock, not to actually cause the company to sell a worthwhile product.
Stock manipulation is not capitalism.
Liberalism IS a mental disease!
Is that your tagline - or what the lady in red is yelling?

More info:
A Tesla driver with a blood alcohol level nearly double the legal limit claimed his electric vehicle was in self-driving mode when it slammed into the back of a parked firetruck in California.
The car was driving, the man told the highway patrol Monday morning. The driver explained that his Tesla electric vehicle had been set on autopilot, allowing him to sit in a drunken stupor while the car transported him to his destination.
The excuse didnt work. He was ultimately arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the California Highway Patrol. Local officials did not identify the man, but they say it is never permitted to be drunk behind the wheel.

Try again. Once he’s vested, he can’t sell the stock for five years.
Stupid post.
Hes got a great racket.
...
I think you mean he’s got a great rocket.
John DeLorean without the drugs.
Or the cool looking car.
So? He still has a greater motivation to manipulate the stock price than he does to actually produce cars.
“... but they say it is never permitted to be drunk behind the wheel.”
I was reading where some autonomous car design that is going to be built (is being built?) has no wheel or control pedals. “But occiferrr - there is no wheel!” (Seriously though - it would be like getting on a bus - without the risk of a public intoxication arrest.)
