Well, are they? I think two things are at work:

1) How long has full self driving been just six months away? The last mile often tends out to be the hard part.

2) If the catastrophic scenario comes true where white collar work essentially disappears, what does "preparing" actually mean? There's not a whole lot I can do about that. It's like trying to make plans for what I'm going to do if I get into a coma.
