  5. >> "you effectively dissuade people from using an autonomous vehicle "
    The thing is, the Tesla is not an autonomous vehicle.
    It needs a driver, reacting fast as soon as the automation gives up, which means the driver needs to go from doing nothing to full awareness of a complicated situation in half a second.
    That's dangerous.

    Which is a small market now.

    Simple as that.
