This seemingly contradicts the notion of Musk being inept in the automotive industry. - Your claim about Tesla's autonomous vehicles lagging behind competition appears misinformed. From what I understand, Tesla's self-driving technology, which does not rely on high-definition maps, is far advanced compared to most companies in the same space. Moreover, the self-driving team, led by Karpathy and now Ashok, are highly competent individuals. - To suggest that SpaceX hasn't been successful or valuable to NASA is just wrong. You label the Starship project as 'dumb

These are too complex and expensive for consumer use now and for the foreseeable future. However there is an important application where these may end up being key: teleoperation of robot hands to produce training data for neural nets. We will probably need millions of hours of data of robots doing everyday tasks to train our neural net models. Collecting that data might mean humans puppeteering robots very precisely but also very quickly. Without haptic gloves, human operators would be attempting tasks with no sense of touch at all, and their movements would be unnatural and inefficient, ultimately resulting in the trained robot moving inefficiently too. Tesla has a motion capture suit that
