Tesla has never, ever, had anything remotely resembling a lead in autonomous vehicles. The actual AV industry doesn’t consider them part of it.

We do. Next question.

Geolocation data isn’t authenticated or in any way secured against spoofing, so this isn’t a security hole. And it’s frequently wrong anyway (I am not now, nor have I ever been, in Ashburn, VA), so using it as the sole authority for “where are you?” and not providing a manual option is simply a bug; sloppy UX at best.

And just think, they only have to find 3 more of those clients to pay the CEO!
