* More land is expensive, you don't need to buy more to build up * It's faster to take an elevator to floor 100, than walk through 100 floors
And more I'm sure, this is just off the top of my head.
Let me know when your team of engineers gets to Thailand too.
The people are the power, paper money is no match.
To me this implies on some level that the people of the country like their government.
But really it seems like Musk is trying to help, you're the one who's just offering an opinion.
So idk, maybe someone who is focusing on quickly building tunnels might be helpful.
> Elon Musk is sending a team of engineers to Thailand to see if they can help authorities racing to save a dozen boys and their coach who are stranded in a cave there.
And they had this immense distrust of new people, if your account was created within the week and you posted something contrary they would downvote and comment only on that aspect.

My reply to the post though:
Obviously someone shaping stats to their own biases. They want to compare Tesla and Mercedes Benz crash rates because they are in a similar price range?
Mind you he has no data on automated driving crashes.
Ridiculous and short-sighted, the goal (IMO) is for all cars to be automated. And he assumes that just because lidar is expensive now, that it will be in the future, which is just naive.
