Seems a reasonable response to me. After reading the original article I was left with the impression that Tesla had outsourced the development of their autonomous driving technology, and this changes that impression.<p>And I have to agree that getting such a complex and safety critical system production ready is beyond the reach of a single individual, no matter how talented they are. Its like a single individual might be able to build a rocket which can reach the edge of space, but not extend it to take human passengers into orbit (and back again safely).<p>And I&#x27;m not sure Tesla should be publicly congratulating him. While I do think it is very impressive what he has done, there is an element of reckless endangerment if he is indeed testing this on busy public roads after only a few hours of development.<p>If I were George, I would I&#x27;d use this project to either (i) get a job at one of the companies with significant resources so I could take the work further (but his short stints at a number of technology companies suggests he doesn&#x27;t work well for others), or (ii) get funding so I could build a much bigger team to take the project further.
