SpaceX Proves Full Self Driving Works

     SpaceX just docked the Axiom-2 at the International Space Station (ISS). While there is the ability for crew on both the Freedom Capsule and the ISS to be involved manually with the docking, there was a reminder that it was, "crew hands off," and the entire 16 hour launch, flight, and docking was done by autopilot.      We can't have cars with full autopilot, not even Teslas, but SpaceX is capable of launching and docking Spaceships at the International Space Station using nothing but autopilot. Since Tesla and SpaceX are both Elon Musk companies, one could assume that the Full Auto technology would be shared between the companies.      The only reason Elon Musk started pushing Full Self Driving or self-driving vehicles at all is because someone killed a bicyclist while they were driving a Tesla. Elon Musk took that personally, and decided that he would try to prevent that from ever happening again. Thus we have Full Self Driving cars...
