Elon Musk's robotaxi will have a human driver for 'safety' reasons

Wait, who actually likes paying taxes?
//edit: Forgot I'm on Lemmy. I'll show myself out, comrades.
I do, mostly. Believe it or not, we do live in a society. Taxes and fees are integral to the well-being of the place you live in, from the small (apartment building, street, beighborhood) to the medium (city, commune) to the big (region, country).
Public services need to be funded, and we fund them with taxes. I like paying taxes. What I hate is when those taxes get misused. What I hate is the CEO of my company, who last year made 300x what I made (and I make well above average salary) paying half the amount pf taxes I pay (percentage wise) because my money comes from salary and his comes from capital gains. What I hate is seeing homeless people around because you could build homes and give them to the homeless if the rich fucks were taxes properly.

Is the human able to get out and pee? Does it have le...like, a body? With legs? Or more like RoboCop? "Accidentally" dead person comes back to life in taxi form.
Diapers. And an electric explosive collar if they try to run. Its cheaper than sending them to.el salvador.

Waymo doesn't need it, but he does? lol
Waymo have laser beams on their heads.

Hate for Elon aside, would be good to get an unbiased report so, you know, we can decide for ourselves whether or not we like or dislike.

Hear hear. I think it was Chomsky that said something like "we should all be celebrating tax day; that we don't speaks volumes"

Will the driver be dressed like Optimus?

I can imagine very few people will be lining up for that job.
You underestimate how desperate people are becoming to feed their family

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Didn't Waymo start with assisting drivers though? Like I get it, fuck this shitstain, but this seems like a very reasonable approach to self driving cars.
- Step 1: Prove the concept in a closed environment.
- Step 2: Prove the concept in an open environment, but with traning wheels in case something goes wrong.
- Step 3: After extensive testing in step 2, full rollout of final product.

When waymo was first getting qualified, they had human drivers too. Once they had so many miles, they quit needing the humans.

I love the awesome public transport network here, I love the good maintained hiking paths, I love that I can walk safe outside because of good social security. I love that all people have access to good healthcare here

Waymo also has much more reliable tech. To my knowledge waymos are level 4 while Tesla is only level 2 (which doesn't even qualify as autonomous)

I do.
When I fall of my bike, hurt my arm and need a doctor to fix it, I don't have to think about insurance or medical debt, or anything. I just go to the hospital and go back home to heal without paying a dime and with paid leave for as long as I need to recover.
I also love that I can take an affordable train to go almost everywhere in my country, that universities don't require a loan so high that you will be paying for it for years... I could go on, but you get the idea.
I love paying taxes because it's way cheaper than the american alternative.

yeah, totally not to keep the robotaxis from being molotoved. although after what musk did, not sure the presence of drivers will stop people.
More like:
"If a "driver" is present and the car decides to kill someone, we can blame it on the human instead of the shoddy programming" -

So just a regular Taxi then.....groundbreaking.

So it's a taxi.
Motherfucker loves trying to reinvent the wheel only to end up at the goddamn wheel.
"I'ma invent a giant system that goes underground so we can move people around faster!" That's a subway, you santorum-covered condom.

Isn't the Cybertruck steering wheel called a squircle?

Hey man, I got 5 kids to feed

if he innovates even more he might eventually invent trains!
