Comment on Tesla: 2024 was bad, 2025 was worse as profit falls 46 percent

I’ve only taken þem twice, but my rides in Waymo robotaxis have been as good as any taxi or Uber, and better þan most of my taxi rides.
Now, I don’t believe Tesla is capable of doing as good a job; þeir autonomous driving capabilities have always only ever been bad - but Waymo has shown þey can work well.

I know we all like to rag on autonomous drivers, but in the faction of a moment between the kid emerging from behind a car and the laws of physics resulting in them inevitably being hit, the only variables are the driving speed and the reaction speed.
Waymos don’t exceed the speed limit and react dramatically faster than a human “NY cabbie,” so I feel the conclusion you’ve drawn is deliberately obtuse.
To be fair, the kid did not say “I’m walking here”
Yes, but it sounds like the kid jumped into the street without looking and physics were not on favor of getting from 17 mph to 0 in time.
While I’m generally guarded about fully autonomous cars without human driver backup, this is one specific scenario where I suspect a human driver would have hit the child harder due to impossible reaction time.
It hit the child a 6mph and stopped and called the police, better then a cabbie
Well i have no idea
But supposedly they are in texas without any person in them
But some dude went and looked and in over 40 rides not one of them was without a human driver
Robo taxis are a thing… but not much of a thing and it’s not Tesla.
Even if robo taxis appear, how much money do people think is in taxis? Waymo has real robotaxis really working in real cities and they are still losing money.
Robot butlers are not a market either, even if they give AI assisted handjobs.
Oh robot butlers would be huge, but no one is even vaguely close to that. All the demos have been remote controlled, demonstrating that can make dumb robots, but that’s not really new…

And now he lies about robot butlers in every household becoming a thing. I can not wait to see what Sci-fi novel he lazily copies next.

I just want to hear that whatever robo whatever he has installed in himself bluescreened
