i wonder if tesla can afford to abandon autopilot. the strategy of always selling a futuristic vision of driving has always been core to the brand. if they happen to become just another boring electric car company, i'm not sure they can compete in the long run.
They can pivot to selling an auto-autopilot; an AI-based process run totally within the car, which will autonomously work on the code for autopilot for the next 5 years. (/s).
