&quot;Listen To Elon Musk’s Awkward Silence After A Question About Tesla’s Self-Driving Fleet&quot;<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;06&#x2F;listen-to-elon-musks-awkward-silence-after-a-question-about-teslas-self-driving-fleet&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;06&#x2F;listen-to-elon-musks-awkwar...</a><p>TL;DR Based on Elon&#x27;s response, they&#x27;re considering released an Uber competitor with their own self-driving electric cars.<p>EDIT: Uber has an app and drivers. Tesla is going to have enough manufacturing capacity to build 100K cars&#x2F;year. Numbers I&#x27;ve found indicate that 90-95% of the time, cars are in a garage or parked. That&#x27;s a lot of idle capacity society doesn&#x27;t need out there.<p>What does that mean? Tesla doesn&#x27;t need to churn out enough cars to replace existing cars being sold; they just need enough that can replace current <i>miles</i> traveled by people.
