Like, I don't know how much AI can handle here because you've now got three cars waiting for a truck where the first car's realized it can't get through.

But what's the third car going to do?

Because it can't see the first car or the truck.

It might overtake.

For example, right?

So that's exactly what it does.

It starts by reversing and then going for an overtake, then realizes when it sees the truck, that's not cool, this isn't going to work, and ends up waiting for traffic to pass and reverses back around the corner, which point the second car does exactly the same thing, reverses around the corner.

First car reverses back down, lets the truck pass, three cars go up the hill.

Managed all of it by itself.

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.
