[@vasred4265]

He's bold and cocky yea, but calling him rude contradicts to how he spoke of Musk in the video lol. Like he said in the video, he was defending Tesla's Autopilot to the point that he felt he sounded like a Tesla spokesperson haha. So he does have mannerisms, but just doesn't fear calling out BSers when they are making up BS in his perspective. I'd say that makes me respect him even more.

[@lastmountpit]

It's just tactical. You don't want people to lose faith to the most reputable ambassador of the technology field you are breaking into. The first step is to build trust for the general autopilot systems and then convince people yours is better. You don't want a small pie for yourself, you want a piece of a huge pie. Capitalism 101.
