So, I agree about Tesla. I'd like to generalize with utility, rather than to obscure. There's been a culture of "damn the torpedoes" in Silicon Valley for too long. PayPal enabled payments without worrying about how to verify those transactions. Uber enabled gypsy cabs without worrying about who was driving them. Tesla enabled autopilot without worrying about who was behind the wheel. The people behind this have been rewarded -- not punished. I would expect more of this, absent any policy change.
