    TESLA autopilot announcement on TRMS

    http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show# Prominent coverage of the autopilot announcement which ties into a broader segment of how technology is changing our world. It was the lead story of the show, which was surprising to me. Must have been a slower news day. Great ad for Tesla.
