With regards to your first question: yes to all of the above.
I also agree with your conclusion. Those are major factors affecting the course a software project takes.
However, I have never seen any any organization with teams as large as you are talking about. My last team, charged with deploying an enterprise level service for a geographic area twice the size of Rhode Island, was originally three people, then got cut to two when one retired, and is now 1.5 because I retired and they have a part timer helping. And this service is key to the functioning of every single department. When I left, we were the largest such implementation in the south eastern US.
I hope this explains why my views are colored the way they are.
There's the explanation. It's a matter of scale.

In a large program a lazy or incompetent person can get away with it briefly, but the large team size allows for staff capacity and processes designed to find errors as soon as possible - prior to implementation (coding) is the goal - and certainly before system-level testing. Small scale efforts likely can't afford that effort and might not even have time available from competent person to do the reviews.

It's a bit ironic that large scale development programs have a higher probability of success than smaller ones. You must be very proud that yours was so successful with such a small team!

I agree. And yes, when upper management realized the staggering scale of our deployment, they were amazed we succeeded. And they still haven't hired my replacement.

S and X prices are not so far from the original tri-motor price right now :)
Any body else think having Tesla's communicating with each other would help in traffic using gps. If traffic is heavy, Robotaxi would take a different route.

They already have traffic data and route based on it.

Coders aren't lazy. They're constrained, directed, and sometimes don't have the whole picture. But as a whole, they ain't lazy.
I agree, but, with one caveat: Coders are lazy. They're at least... aspirationally lazy. Because coding is all about setting things up so you do less work later.

Sometimes, then again, sometimes the coding is just for the sake of creation. How does fart mode allow you to do less work? I can see a very warped argument that romance mode might reduce your “work”, or maybe not.

We have navigation apps now which can reroute or offer suggestions.

However, Tesla's may even be communicating with each other right now in shadow mode, I have NFI lol, but it sounds plausible to me.

It may have been Tony Seba, or someone of that ilk, who said one day, we may not need traffic lights. Common communication protocols need to be in place for I guess just about 100% of traffic, not coming soon.

I want to have every Ct I ordered to communicate to one another. I want to go to the Rocky Mountains off road. Plan on taking the first three I get from Denver to the mountains. Building trips for skiers, hikers. and gamblers. Each truck could bring something with it. A solar trailer would be number one. Reserved quite a few.
