On: Tesla co-founder and CTO JB Straubel stepping down

Do you dislike drunk-drivers and phone-drivers with the same passion and focus? Do you expect them to gradually become better and better at driving through natural evolution?

No car company implies that drunk driver would be safer than myself behind the wheel, and I should let her drive instead.

I hate drunk drivers way more than I hate Tesla. That stuff never shows up on HN though, whereas Tesla is on the front page all the time.

Autopilot (and by extension Tesla) is also a lot more controversial than drunk driving, and by extension more interesting to discuss.
