This. He says the same thing about Starship: "I'm certain success is in the set of possible outcomes now, whereas years ago I was not certain of this."By "solved" it doesn't mean it's done as it's obvious in 2015, there were no autonomous cars on the road. "Solved" mean in theory sort of like splitting the atom before it was actually done. I believe Elon still think this is true that in theory it's solved and that Tesla will solve the problem. Elon is way wrong on the timing and the difficulty no doubt but he hasn't waivered that Tesla will solve it and I believe him. Sometimes it's that unwavering belief that drives a company.
With FSD he knows it's doable or in his words 'solved'. In other words: the physics of our universe allow it.
Elon became more careful with his wording since 2015/2016. Now he always puts a caveat in his FSD predictions. Now it's along the lines of "I'm highly confident that so and so".
So yeah, he made communication errors, but given all the good he's doing for humanity I can forgive him slip ups like this. It's important to think more broadly than solely as a TSLA investor with only money in mind.
