BTW if you read the story, that guy is an idiot. The ole driving while texting... What makes me wonder about the drivers statement is that if he was actually using self-driving and texting, the tesla internal camera would have seen it and would have immediately started complaining and disabled self-driving.

driving while texting is insanely dangerous. I'm surprised society has so far kinda just shrugged its shoulders about it

For the last 8 months I’ve been growing a fruit tree from seed in a teacup using nothing but water and it’s working. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the tree.

In Spain they use a point system for drivers licenses. You have 12 points and if you ever get to 0, you lose your license and need to sign up for practices+exam to regain it. I'm not sure how quick you can do that, though.

Using your mobile while driving is -6 points. So if you get caught twice, say bye bye to your driver's license

What is the point of a self driving car that doesn't drive itself? I really want a Tesla, but the whole point, for me, is to let the car drive me places without my having to pay attention.

More eyes on the road. Never gets tired or distracted. The workload on the driver is way less.

Yesterday, I was driving in my minivan down to San Diego in stop and go traffic. How I wished I was driving my Tesla.

Also, self-driving is super useful when driving in an unknown area. It knowing (most of the time) when and where to turn sure helps getting around.
