Okay, so there is zero chance that there will be fully autonomous model Ys doing paid rides anywhere for the next 5-10 years (at least).
There is zero fucking chance I will be getting into one of these death traps.
Nazi controlled death traps. It's about power and control:
Punish the poor: "take the bus peasant"
Extort the wealthy: "to bypass traffic, please insert $40. FOR $80 we'll speed for you to shave 10 mins off your trip."
Murder the rebellious either inside or outside the cab: "tonights news we look at the car accident where AOC was driven off a cliff and her protesters were run over repeatedly by an autonomous tesla.
Gate the elite: sorry, this area is restricted to C class passenger licenses or higher.
You think it's going to be hard for Tesla to convince a city in Texas to let them do autonomous rides?
Texas.
I'm not suggesting they'll do a lot of rides, but there will be at least a handful until something goes wrong sooner than it should and they force a pause.
Edit: and to be clear, something very wrong. Waymo does wrong things all the time and it's allowed. It's going to have to do enough wrong things in a short time or a very very bad thing sooner than it should. But they'll do rides until that.
Oh, I think Tesla is scared to try. They know that their cars won't work. They know that it will be a living and dying disaster, and everyone will be posting videos on TikTok. The reason they haven't seriously tried to create such a city is because they're trying to ride the AI hype, not because they actually think it's a good idea to implement.
Tesla might be, Elon isn't. They'll do what he says. They're spending billions getting the cybercab ready. They'll try it.
Anti autonomous vehicle sentiment is strange to me. As long as they're doing better than the average person, I think it's not a terrible thing.
For reference, I saw 6 different accidents on my drive to work today. It's a really low bar to clear.
As far as I can tell it’s an issue of completely destroyed trust in rich techies, who are the only people who can afford to make autonomous vehicles at the moment.
All I know is that Elon couldn't predict the sunrise. He lies and makes overconfident statements constantly.
They will be doing autonomous rides off of bridges.
Hey now! They could catch fire before the make it to a bridge.
it will fall apart the more you drive it.
Correction: ever.
