For a parallel, when the cell phone became mainstream in the late 1990s, they revolutionized communication.  The next real revolution in the industry came around 2007 or 2008 when Apple released its first iPhone.  To me, all the other advancements in the cell phone world have been incremental by comparison.

With FSD, we're at one of those major revolutions in vehicles because it changes the consumer's relationship with the product.  I get it that people are afraid of the technology, and no doubt will blame it for deaths that will likely occur as a result of it, but you have to think that the 8 cameras they have are still vastly superior to the two eyes that a human driver uses. 

Anyway, I'm intrigued, and I'd actually consider getting one in the future.
