A Lex Fridman podcast conversation with Elon Musk focused on Tesla Autopilot, covering the motivation for Autopilot and Musk's views on self-driving safety and autonomy.
HN mostly cites it as a record of Musk's self-driving claims and timelines, often sarcastically in threads about missed FSD promises.

Watch Lex Fridman's interview with Musk ( this video ), where they discuss exactly this topic. Basically, Musk's point is that if self-driving cars are statistically safer than humans, then allowing humans to drive will make cars less safe again. Furthermore (regarding some other children here), the study that Lex and his team has done show that drivers are not less engaged while Autopilot is on (as many critics say).

While you're waiting for the main event to start, here are some recent interviews with Elon about self-driving cars. He's very confident. "To me right now, this seems 'game, set, and match,'" Musk said. "I could be wrong, but it appears to be the case that Tesla is vastly ahead of everyone." I am eager to see what they unveil today. this video [LINK]
