For ‘driving’ reasons.

Cybertrucks pulling wooden carts.
Gotta do something with all that extra and unsellable inventory.

I must say, it's been a little nicer not having this dipshit in the headlines every single fucking day. I guess he's going to start saying things again and fuck with my peace of mind.
I think Musk should 100% trust his fucking piece of shit robotaxi tech and use it exclusively. Good chance it drives him off a bridge.

Luckily only in Murica.
The liberal parties here tried to make the same argument here, but luckily no one takes them seriously (in Europe this means something different, than in the US. It's not progressive/left-leaning, they are more like Libertarians/Republicans. They don't hate gay people, but hate paying taxes and regulations)

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.

Terrible name for a terrible design. Yoke style steering wheels are not safe for cars because they create awkward handholds as they rotate.
Yoke style works in planes and race cars where they aren't rotated 360+ degrees regularly, rarely over 90 degrees either direction.
If it made sense, Saab would have done it.

yeah, totally not to keep the robotaxis from being molotoved. although after what musk did, not sure the presence of drivers will stop people.

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.

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)
