Nonetheless, $54,000 is not mass market. Moreover, I don't know where you get your $36k or your resale value; but according to Consumer Reports, the Accord is a much better car.

My "negativity" started when I discovered that my $35,000 car was going to cost $50,000. I think you can probably trace most of what you see as negativity to the July 28 reveal; which for me showed fewer standard features and much higher prices than I expected.

When I saw the M3 at the first reveal I fell in love with it. What I really fell in love with was the idea that I could have the car of the future today for close to $35,000. Of course, autopilot was what primarily made it the car of the future. But now that I know that a fully capable M3 costs...

While there are some states that require a licensed driver in the car; there are no states that prohibit the sale of a car with full self driving activated.
