I think Elon's talking now about them generating or doing product release of the next vehicle out of Tesla.
And he's kind of indicated that it will be able to fly.
So if you sort of take the fact that they now have driverless cars that can navigate the roads correctly and probably, I don't have the stats on this, but it wouldn't be hard to find out, significantly reduce accidents, I imagine, then it's not a huge step to say, well, let's elevate off the ground here in a one, two person vehicle and take a more direct route across the city.
If I can avoid you on a road, then I can certainly avoid you in the air.
once you have that networked grid of all those cars, being able to communicate with each other.
Yes.
Well, it wouldn't need it, would it, because... I don't know, what you tell me.
I'm thinking it might.
Well, no, no, because the power of these things are they're all connected.
Right.
So if you imagine, today the problem we have when we go down a highway, 50 cars, no one knows what the other person's going to do.
No.
So someone can do something stupid, not indicate, move into the middle lane.
Once you've got 50 connected cars,
I actually know the destination of the other 49 cars.
So I know there's no reason for you to move over right now because you're getting off at the next exit.
And you know that I'm about to go in the fast lane because I've got 100 miles to do.
So you just lift that into the air.
Everybody knows where every other vehicle is going.
You don't have human error in that.
