maybe this will spur people that have developed no skills to find some.
Why? Liberals will just push for higher minimum wages and 'guaranteed income' for doing absolutely nothing. God forbid the left push for gaining valuable skills, that might take time away from some non binary gender studies degree.
I know, re-read my comment. They are breaking into semi trucks, but they're also working on a pickup truck.
VERY few pickups have after market lifts etc. For the vast majority, you buy a truck to haul stuff. Not for driving.
Im not sure how this becomes a "turn off" those customers. A tesla pickup is going to sell amazingly well, and if it can self drive at all it will be amazing. I would buy one in a heartbeat.
Yes. Even then it was about the ability to haul stuff for most of them. Trucks represent 20.7% of all vehicles on the road-and I'd suggest that most of them are sold for their towing and hauling capacity-NOT for fun.
But that being said...have you ever ridden or driven a electric vehicle? Teslas trucks are going to blow folks away who are used to the lower performance of a gas vehicle.

I was referring to a self driving pickup, that’s what I do not see a market for.
yep lots of people are late adopters, that is no big deal. At first it will be a few self driving cars, but i believe states will quickly move to ban drivers from major roads i guess about 10 years from now drivers will be banned from a whole bunch of cities and restricted to maybe one lane or no lanes of highways....
ref pulling over a car, that is NOT an issue. it is hardly even worth talking about.
but ...
1 with self driving cars the only reason to stop a moving car is urgent safety issue and active crime. breaking a light, speeding etc are all bigger issues to be handled at a higher level.
2 a hacked car would be either an active crime or banned from most roads.
it is very likely self driving cars will have to be in compliance with co operative standards if the users which to use major roads etc... ie selfish software will not be allowed in fast lanes or in city zones.
Sorry, not a late adopter just can't afford another $60k truck.
I still think the timing is way off on these. In the next 5 years or so we will see a peppering of self drivers, mostly in fleets and some people that want to jump on the new tech. For it to be widespread and the norm , I'm guessing 15 or more years.
Think about it. One news report states next year they will be offered, then the next news report has Ford boasting about one of their new 2018 model Mustangs having the most HP in any vehicle they have sold. If these companies were serious about making the jump like now, all development would be on it. I wouldn't be designing the interior of a 2021 full size SUV , that is gas powered.
Again, I agree, it is coming, just not at the speed they say.
I assumed this transition would happen within a decade. But within a year? Amazing how fast technology is advancing.
Yep, but it's not politics.
