While you're waiting for the main event to start, here are some recent interviews with Elon about self-driving cars. He's very confident. "To me right now, this seems 'game, set, and match,'" Musk said. "I could be wrong, but it appears to be the case that Tesla is vastly ahead of everyone." I am eager to see what they unveil today.

Watch Lex Fridman's interview with Musk ( [VIDEO] ), where they discuss exactly this topic. Basically, Musk's point is that if self-driving cars are statistically safer than humans, then allowing humans to drive will make cars less safe again. Furthermore (regarding some other children here), the study that Lex and his team has done show that drivers are not less engaged while Autopilot is on (as many critics say).
> I think he's counting on 'exponential improvement'. Here he is, on record, stating that he believes Tesla has essentially solved the problem ('game, set, and match'): [1] [VIDEO]

It's from this interview: [VIDEO] I think he also repeated that on an investor call later. As for prison, just ask Trevor Milton or Elizabeth Holmes.
