She's predicting a market cap of $8 trillion for Tesla 5 years from now. I don't see that, by then the self-driving tech will be a commodity, cheaper than a sunroof or a good car stereo system.
Why? A Waymo car now costs over 100K to set up. Tesla will be first to market at an affordable price and dominates EV charging.
"BYD just announced "Gods Eye" their ADAS system. It will come in 3 different levels (DiPilot-100 - HNOA support, no Lidar DiPilot-300 - CNOA support + 1 Lidar DiPilot-600 - L3 h/w + multi Lidar), and the price of vehicles will not be increased,
so their ADAS is technically FREE!!Even BYD's lowest priced models (approx $10,000 USD) will get assisted driving tech. BYD are building their own data centre, and have 500+ engineers working on ADAS.
One reason that BYD can do this is all the sensors they are using, which are industry leading are produced in house by BYD. BYD were behind in ADAS, it appears this has been resolved!!!
This will put more pressure on Tesla in the Chinese market too, as currently ADAS is not available on Tesla's in China. Compared to what BYD are now offering Tesla looks very overpriced for what you get."
