   Elon Musk, ten years ago:   
    |   
    | I consider autonomous driving to be a basically solved   
    | problem. ... We're less than two years away from complete   
    | autonomy. Regulators however will take at least another   
    | year; they'll want to see billions of miles of data.   
      
   Elon Musk, six years ago:   
    |   
    | I feel very confident predicting that there will be   
    | autonomous robotaxis from Tesla next year -- not in all   
    | jurisdictions because we won't have regulatory approval   
    | everywhere. ... From our standpoint, if you fast forward   
    | a year, maybe a year and three months, but next year for   
    | sure, we'll have over a million robotaxis on the road.   
      
   Today:   
    |   
    | Tesla's nascent robotaxi program is off to a rough start.   
    | New NHTSA crash data, combined with Tesla's new disclosure   
    | of robotaxi mileage, reveals Tesla's autonomous vehicles   
    | are crashing at a rate much higher tha human drivers, and   
    | that's with a safety monitor in every car.   
    | ...
