This Is Why Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Needed Human Babysitters

  This means, too, that Tesla hasn’t hit the milestone Musk promised back in January, when he told investors that the company would launch “unsupervised full self-driving as a paid service in Austin in June … no one in the car.”

  Back in 2015 he claimed fully autonomous driving would be available in 3 years (by 2018) and since then it was always a year or two away. Why does anyone believe anything he says?

  “From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner.”

    Because people are, by and large, both forgiving to charismatic people and hopeful.

      Sure, but Elon isn’t charismatic in the slightest.

    Because many people cannot distinguish between word salads and insight.

  NO, it’s not safe. They’re designed by a nazi that only cares about profit, and doesn’t give a shit about his nazi cars setting people on fire, or driving families off cliffs. After all the doors are locked, and can’t be opened - of course.

  Get these the fuck off the road.

    Honestly at this point, I’m not sure which has the greater cost to life. I’m starting to think, maybe this is the fastest way to tangently demonstrate how fucking full of shit this guy is. He blows up a few space ships, no one’s directly effected. Maybe running over one or 2 kids directly with a robo taxi will wake enough over to “maybe we shouldn’t let this guy kick tens of thousands of americans off healthcare.”

    (not saying this is a good thing, but of a trolly problem. Musk has spent hte last 6 months getting in positions to do horrible things to so many people, and god knows how many deahts he’s responsible for. Maybe if he messes up and does a few of the kinds of deaths that people get scared over and take action, than things will go better.

      How many Allied ships do you think were wrecked before creating the most reliable missile in the world? The path to perfection lies through loss and suffering.

    Wow, do you really know the definition of Nazism, or are you just throwing around clichés under the cover of anonymity on the internet?

      The number of dislikes speaks to the quality of the audience here…

  TL;DR: Tesla robotaxis don’t work reliably. At all.
