    My friend from West Coast when visiting us rented a Tesla for a week at a huge premium specifically because “that’s what I know how to drive now”.

    We’re doomed.

      It would be weird if Tesla pushed the envelope on non-standard controls so much that it became the new stick vs automatic. Kids will be like I can’t drive your car because I don’t know how to use a brake pedal (one pedal driving) or park without the overhead 360 radar thingy. I had a similar thought when I rode with a friend who was so distracted by his phone while driving that he relied on the front collision warning to tell him when to look up from his phone.
