If the takeaway is indeed âoe1.4 million U.S. jobs will be hit by automation between now and 2026â, that seems very low. My startup alone is projected to displace 250,000-5000,000 jobs in the US within five years.

The Tesla is an expensive proof of concept. It basically features a Camry hybrid with an iPad inside, plus obviously some very expensive batteries. I think both makers will continue to do well, but for the money I would rather have an $80,000 Mercedes over a Tesla any day.
