Episode notes

I was just using the test of full self driving in a small town that had roads where, you know, when you go to some small towns, there are some roads where you can fit like 1.5 cars and you have to like no divider really. And I was pretty impressed. We might be very close to a tipping point where it's safer than me on those roads. But I don't think that means they can take the steering wheel out and have driverless yet.
