Quoting @CoFoundersNik: “FSD could literally free up OVER $1.5 trillion/yr... WHY isn't anyone talking about this??

If Lawmakers were serious about serving the people, they would start focusing on how to speed up FSD adoption.

The Data:
Fatal & serious crashes cost the U.S. almost $2 trillion per year in total societal harm; including ~$400 billion in direct economic costs in the form of:
- medical bills
- property damage
- lost wages
- enormous quality-of-life cost of lost years
- permanent disability

Tesla’s latest FSD data shows vehicles with FSD engaged are ~9× SAFER than the average driver.

That means, if fully adopted, FSD could produce savings the size of any one of these:
- ~6% of GDP
- The entire Social Security program
- Medicare AND Medicaid
- Roughly 2× the defense budget

At this scale, FSD (and technologies like it) could be one of the first real steps toward an age of AI "abundance" people talk about.

50 years from now, our children and grandchildren will look back in horror at the fact that we ever drove at all.”"
