Musk: Tesla will drive itself coast-to-coast with no human input by end of 2017
I am very confident that we will be able to do a demonstration drive of full autonomy from LA to New York by the end of the year. So basically, you'll be able to get in the car, go to sleep, and wake up at your destination.
What this view assembles
- Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
- Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
- Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
- Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).
This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
