Episode 64 - Gloom and Doom Apr 02, 2018

Show notes

Wow, what a week for Tesla. Autopilot criticism from the fatal crash, the largest recall in the company's history, tumbling stock price and Elon announced the company is bankrupt! Actually "bankwupt." And that one was on April Fool's Day. Good to see he still has his sense of humor!

Here's that video with one possible explanation for why Autopilot crashed into the median
