Tesla CEO Elon Musk Draws Parallel Between Netflix's Decision To Focus On Streaming Over Renting DVDs To EV Maker Doubling Down On Vehicle Autonomy
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Friday drew a parallel between video streaming platform Netflix doubling down on streaming over DVD renting in 2011 to the EV maker doubling efforts on vehicle autonomy.
特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克週五將視頻流媒體平台Netflix在2011年加倍投放流媒體而不是租賃DVD與這家電動汽車製造商在汽車自動駕駛方面加倍努力相提並論。
What Happened: In 2011, Netflix attempted to split its DVD rental business from its online streaming into a separate website called Qwikster. The plan, however, was eventually scrapped owing to consumer and shareholder protests.
發生了什麼：2011年，Netflix試圖將其DVD租賃業務從在線直播拆分爲一個名爲Qwikster的單獨網站。但是，由於消費者和股東的抗議，該計劃最終被取消。
However, streaming has now indeed taken over DVDs, an X user noted in a post on Friday. "Now, apply this logic to Tesla," Musk wrote to the user, drawing a parallel between Netflix's 13-year-old decision to focus on streaming and Tesla's own decision to focus all efforts on vehicle autonomy and hinting that autonomous vehicles will trump human-driven ones in the future.
但是，一位X用戶在週五的一篇文章中指出，流媒體現在確實已經取代了DVD。“現在，將這種邏輯應用於特斯拉，” 馬斯克寫信給用戶，將Netflix13年來專注於直播的決定與特斯拉自己決定將所有精力集中在汽車自動駕駛上的決定相提並論，並暗示未來自動駕駛汽車將勝過人類駕駛汽車。

Why It Matters: Tesla is currently faced with dropping share value after it decided to focus all its efforts and resources on vehicle autonomy. However, the CEO said last month that doubling down on autonomy is a "blindingly obvious move" for the company with everything else like "variations on a horse carriage." The company intends to unveil its robotaxi product on Aug. 8, and Musk is optimistic that autonomous vehicles will be the future for the automotive industry.
爲何重要：特斯拉決定將所有精力和資源集中在汽車自動駕駛上之後，目前正面臨股價下降的問題。但是，首席執行官上個月表示，對於公司來說，加倍提高自主權是一個 “顯而易見的舉動”，其他一切都是 “馬車的變體”。該公司打算在8月8日推出其robotaxi產品，馬斯克樂觀地認爲，自動駕駛汽車將成爲汽車行業的未來。
"Even if I got kidnapped by aliens tomorrow, Tesla will solve autonomy, maybe a little slower, but it would solve autonomy for vehicles at least," Musk said during the company's first-quarter earnings call last month. "If somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company."
馬斯克在上個月的公司第一季度業績電話會議上說：“即使我明天被外星人綁架，特斯拉也會解決自動駕駛問題，可能要慢一點，但至少可以解決車輛的自動駕駛問題。”“如果有人不相信特斯拉會解決自主權問題，我認爲他們不應該成爲該公司的投資者。”
Netflix, meanwhile, subsequently ended its DVD-renting business last year after the business shrank and paved the way for streaming. The company shipped its final discs on September 29.
與此同時，Netflix隨後於去年結束了其DVD租賃業務，此前該業務萎縮併爲流媒體鋪平了道路。該公司於9月29日發貨了最後一張光盤。
