Musk在做投资人简报时宣布，Tesla将在2020年推出自驾出租车服务robotaxi，
在初期阶段仅限于Model 3车款，车主只要安装手机App就能让自己的爱车加入百万辆
自驾出租车赚钱大军的一员。
Tesla初估每辆自驾出租车每年可赚3万美元的毛利，
成本是每公里0.113美元 / 3.5元台币。
Tesla会向车主抽成25%~30%的获利。

Tesla would take a 25 to 30pc cut of owners' earnings from the service,
and a robotaxi operating for 11 years as part of the service would produce
gross profit of $30,000 per year, at a cost of $0.18 per mile.
Musk说再过一年后，就会有一百多万辆车内建全自动驾驶的软、硬件配备。
而Musk在2016年也曾经说过，Tesla会在2018年推出全自动驾驶功能，
但后来并没有达成这项目标。
"A year from now we'll have over a million cars with full self-driving,
software, everything," Musk predicted.
Tesla has been working on a self-driving chip since 2016 and Musk had
previously forecast that cars would be fully self-driving by 2018,
a target Tesla has missed.
在2016年Tesla推出Autopilot 2.0硬件时，也声称HW 2.0的硬件能力就足以达成LV5
全自动驾驶。
After announcing Autopilot 2.0, Musk said that he believes Tesla could
achieve self-driving capability on the computer
....
....
“However, we still expect to achieve full self-driving capability with
safety more than twice as good as the average human driver without making
any hardware changes to HW 2.0.
◇Tesla认为不需要使用Lidar雷射雷达
虽然Audi、Waymo、Uber和Mobileeye的自驾科技都有用Lidar，但Tesla却只用摄影机
和雷达，不靠Lidar。
Musk说“Lidar是蠢蛋在用的，那些靠Lidar的厂商注定要完蛋。”
他认为那些竞争者到最后还是会放弃Lidar。
因为Lidar价格昂贵又多余，只要解决掉视觉问题，就不需要Lidar了。
"Lidar is a fools' errand. And anyone relying on Lidar is doomed," said Musk,
who has been vocal about the technology's limitations. Tesla vehicles rely on
cameras and radars as their vision system for self-driving.
Competitors will eventually "dump" Lidar, he said: "It's expensive and
unnecessary and once you solved vision it's worthless."
Tesla声称他们新芯片的性能比Nvidia的Xavier强七倍，但Ndivia出面反驳此事。
Tesla's chip was capable of seven times as many frames as Nvidia's Xavier
system, said Pete Bannon, Tesla's head of Autopilot hardware.
Nvidia said the comparison was inaccurate.
在投资人简报结束后，美国“消费者报导”杂志在官网发表声明，
他们希望Tesla别把民众当作实验猪，自驾系统要有严谨透明的数据，
相关资料透明地分享给政府和消费者，并能交由独立的第三方团体去验证。
“But instead of treating the public like guinea pigs, Tesla must clearly
demonstrate a driving automation system that is substantially safer than what
is available today, based on rigorous evidence that is transparently shared
with regulators and consumers, and validated by independent third-parties.
星期一，Tesla收盘股价262.75美元，下跌3.85%。
