According to the report, Musk overruled a significant number of Tesla engineers who warned him that switching to a visual-only system would be problematic and possibly unsafe due to its high risk of increasing the rate of accidents. His own team knew their systems weren’t up to the task, but Musk believed he knew better than the industry experts who helped propel Tesla to the forefront of autonomous technology and ploughed on with this egocentric, counterproductive plan. He even disabled sensors in older models so that pretty much the entire Tesla fleet went visual-only.

Amazing, just amazing.

He's starting to sound like Elizabeth Holmes.

Every expert in the field insists that my idea is impossible? They're backing their assertions up by cold, hard facts?! I'll show em!

if you look back at the history of tesla theres lots of that where musk/tesla engineers actually succeeded. it sounds like that thinking finally bit him in the ass.

These people all start to fail horribly when they stop listening. They somehow convince themselves that they are the genius when their skills stopped at having money and listening to groups of actual experts.
