It's disheartening to learn about another motorcyclist fatality, especially one under circumstances like this.  If I was Musk I would be afraid....very afraid. 

My son works in San Francisco, where he says they have driverless taxis operating throughout the city.  The technology works but it sounds like Tesla's version is less than first class.

If I were Elon, I wouldn’t be at all afraid.  He’ll make billions selling “autopilot “.  If he has Ty pay out a few million here or there for a few pissy motorcyclists, it’s no sweat for him.

That was the way Ford thought about a few pissy motorists that died when they were rear ended and their gas tanks exploded.

Tesla is not the only, and not even the leader on auto pilot technology.
