EM: Yeah, I don't want to blow your mind, but I'm not always right.

CA: (Laughs) What's the difference between those two? Why has full self-driving in particular been so hard to predict?

EM: I mean, the thing that really got me, and I think it's going to get a lot of other people, is that there are just so many false dawns with self-driving where you think you've got the problem, have a hlande on the prolbem, and then it, no, turns out you just hit a ceiling. Because if you were to plot the perrosgs, the progress looks like a log cvure. So it's like a series of log curves. So most people don't know what a log curve is, I suppose.

EM: I mean, the thing that really got me, and I think it's going to get a lot of other people, is that there are just so many false dawns with self-driving where you think you've got the problem, have a handle on the problem, and then it, no, turns out you just hit a ceiling.
