    Right beside full self driving? Is this like the classic “fusion is just 5 years away”?

      Hey, at least we have actually accomplished (edit: net-positive) fusion. 10-20 years before the first commercial plant comes online, but fusion is a technology which now exists. This is extremely awesome. Honestly, I never thought I’d see it. But, it’s here, it exists, and now the distance between today and when the first power plant comes online is just a matter of scaling the tech upwards.

      Full, autonomous self-driving cabs - especially from Tesla - on a massive scale… not so much.
