I'm one of them, and I'm definitely upgrading to EAP, not sure about self driving.
As a suggestion (if you can) you might consider adding another option on the poll to match your own state <grin>... something like, "Upgrading to EAP, undecided about self driving"
I am basically in the same place you are. I personally have serious doubts that they will be able to have anywhere the level of self driving that has been proposed within even the next several years... Not that I think the technical issues will stop it, I am sure those are all solvable, its the regulatory issues that I think will get in the way (just like marinicus).
While I would love to see a car that I can simply sit in and say "take me to work", I don't expect this car (and that option) to get there. but, having said that, I think that they will HAVE to release some stuff for it or have to consider refunding the money paid be whomever does pay for it. I think they can get away with saying "well, the car can do it, but legally you can't sit in the back seat and ignore it". but I don't think they will be able to get away with "well, you paid for an option, but you get nothing for it". if nothing else, I suspect that they would never be able to actually recognize that revenue, (which makes accountants really grumpy).
So, assuming I can get 10% return on investing the 3k, it's about 3 years to recover the 1k extra that it will cost after the fact to upgrade. and that's assuming they don't raise the price between now and then (something that they seem to do pretty frequently). Which means, the question is, do I expect that there will be enough features released to owners of that SKU to be worth 3k in the next two(ish) years. if not, I am better off (financially) waiting, investing the money, and paying for it later.
I don't know the answer to that question though.
Not me. I love my MS as is. Also I like driving. The future may be self-driving but kind of sad that people won't know the joy of being in a grove with your car. But on the other hand perhaps less stuck in traffic frustration.
I guess I am going to be in the "kind of sad" category... I don't really love driving that much. (to be fair, I've never regularly driven a car that I could say really fed a love of driving though) And the vast majority of my driving is in close to bumper to bumper congested traffic, which drives me up a wall. I would happily pay much more than the 3 (or 4k) to not have to deal with the traffic.
