And of course, once it's available on your personal car, that'll be the mother load.

They can be.

It depends on whether they have to park or not.

It depends on whether they're electric or not.

It depends on whether there are congestion charges, where they're operating.

So there are other factors.

You can't just throw them into the mix and say the world would be better.

I mean, to me, the perfect car is a personally owned vehicle capable of autonomy that I can contribute to a fleet or sent to take my daughter to school that I don't have to think about.

And when I'm tired, I don't have to drive.

To some extent.

Tesla still requires supervision.

I still have to sit in the seat.

So I can't send it to take my daughter to school without me in the car.

But that's going to happen.

That's inevitable.

It's going to depend on where.

So in places like Phoenix and the southern archipelago of American states where weather's good and there's not much rain, within three years.

In other places, snow, complex city, New York City, Boston, probably within five.

But that's going to depend more on regulatory hurdles than the technology itself.

So this has long been the Achilles heel and probably the grand failure of all the self-driving car companies.
