I just question why that same amount of energy isn't there for all the idiots on the road that are so much more dangerous than any self driving car.

I agree. With 3 children who will need to drive in the next 10 to 14 years, I welcome the help of technology to make driving safer. A selfish desire of mine is to have FSD fully implemented and battle tested by the time they drive so I can worry less. My #1 rule when I'm on the road is to assume every other driver is a retard, because many are.

I used to hate on Tesla until I started really looking at the tech they test in these cars. I've said it before in a few threads, I test drove and X for 2 days, and getting back into my ICE truck feels like I was transported to 1950. And my truck is not old.

A good friend has one, and now that the battery life for them is well known (300-500,000 miles), my wife's next commuter car is going to be a Tesla, and there's not even a close 2nd, especially with the shite internal combustion engines that manufacturers are pumping out nowadays, Toyota included.

If I could have heavy hauling trucks, side x sides, heavy equipment, etc. that was all electric and there not be the problem of having to charge in remote areas, every single thing that I own sitting on tires or tracks would be electric. Piss on changing oil, air filters, fuel pumps and lines, etc. It's far more feasible in a vehicle. In fact, for our purposes, it just makes sense.
