According to a engineer from a major Japanese manufacturer, Tesla is at least 6 years ahead of everyone regarding electronics.

Well, I'm not very knowledgeable about in car electronics or what is necessary to create a self-driving hardware, but, is it really impossible for the others to build something like Tesla does or they don't want to?
Because according to every Tesla fan, everything Tesla is the best thing, but they already had to replace thousands of "self driving computers" to get enough processing power.
Also, with all of this generations, how will Tesla manage post-warranty repairs?
I do look up what Tesla has managed regarding electric propulsion, but, from what I see almost all Tesla's seem like a beta version being paid and tested by the consumer...
One stunned engineer from a major Japanese automaker examined the computer and declared, "We cannot do it."

There should be nothing stopping Toyota or VW from doing the same much earlier than 2025, considering their immense financial resources and vast talent pools. But technological hurdles are not the reason for the delay, according to the Japanese engineer who said "we cannot do it."
The real reason for holding off?
Automakers worry that computers like Tesla's will render obsolete the parts supply chains they have cultivated over decades, the engineer said.
