I’m picturing the scene from Idiocracy where the “doctor” tells Joe to stick some devices in his mouth and butt, then gets them mixed up.

Also remember, Elon predicts literally everything 3 years out. It has become next to meaningless.

"We should be able to do 90 percent of miles driven [autonomously] within three years." — Elon Musk, Sept 2013

Idiocracy on steroids.

For those who don't know, Idiocracy is a movie title.
