This upcoming Sunday marks the official beginning of the Detroit Auto Show, and despite it being the second consecutive year Tesla Motors will not be in attendance, there are still some modestly interesting presentations worth seeing—mostly in the automated car department.
The Detroit News is loosely promising several automated or semi-automated cars will be on display:
[…]more and more of the new production models on display at Cobo Center will be featuring the latest in semi-autonomous technologies capable of watching your blind spot, minding oncoming traffic as you back out of a mall parking lot and even slamming on the brakes automatically if you don’t respond quickly enough to a potential collision.
If it weren’t for the public’s fascination with autonomous vehicles, the lack of a presence from Tesla would likely keep 80% of the population from braving the arctic conditions that exist in and around Cobo Hall (situated on the Detroit River aka cold AF).
Tesla motors skips the Motor City because they are mistreated by the state of Michigan, whose politicians are fighting a losing battle to protect car dealerships—the worst cadre of charlatans in existence. In other words, they don’t like change and they’re trying to bureaucratically resist it like a bunch of bitches.
Expect lots of auto news to come out over the next few weeks, with much of it focusing on driverless cars. As for news on Tesla, well, it won’t be coming out of Detroit.
BULLISH for TESLA
BEARISH for DETROIT
