The new UI and Elon's comments about input usually being error, prove that they are slowly nudging us toward a driverless future. Using the car is going to eventually become such a pain in the ass, that most people will welcome autonomy because manual driving will become too difficult, or at the very least, no fun at all. He and others have said that humans driving cars are too dangerous.. that in the future most drivers will object to being on roads with cars that people are driving themselves.
Contrary to those that say Tesla is out to lunch and have no idea what they are doing.. i believe they know exactly what they are doing. Everything is going according to plan. Each change is subtle enough to enlist some allies to their side, who will help ridicule those that want to retain the easier modes of control, and feelings of ownership of the vehicle they paid for. Divide and conquer has always proven to be the best strategy for dominance.
