Mr Softie fumble #2: they decided people wanted their PCs to work like their phones, and brought us Windows 8.

No.
How necessary on a scale of 1 to 10?
2 to 3?

It would be nice to stay on topic, Tesla Y Competition.

It would be quite dismal were it necessary since it will be many years before one could hope that half of cars were equipped and years beyond that before one got to a really high percentage. What benefit is going to be critically important and yet missing for half of all vehicles?

Right.
Often these discussions get phrased in absolutes, which would not be my intent here, but we know the world is often all of the shades between dead end and necessary.
The shades I mentioned were between (and letâs say ânearbyâ) dead end and not necessary.
Necessary and critically important?
I couldnât say.
Probably helpful. Cost effective? IDK.
The longer we wait to start, the longer itâll take before a sufficient number of vehicles are equipped.
Carrots should be offered.
e.g.
construct short specialized roadways that as a condition of entry require and make maximum use out of V2V and V2x capabilities
e.g.
âone laneâ roadway (there would be small mostly regularly spaced widened zones) through an area of spectacular and almost untouched beauty, because both
far cheaper to build (especially with a sane weight limit on the vehicles)
can be managed so that the vehicles do not stop nor open while within an ongoingly protected zone
Something like that might work. That is the direction of the long term for âwhat comes nextâ for a myriad of reasons.
Wait? Are you suggesting that something some rando said 15 years ago about Amazon isnât relevant to Tesla?
j/k
