Tesla’s robotaxi debut in Austin got people excited. But can the company compete on the global stage with Chinese AV giants like Baidu and Pony.ai?
Anything but trains, subways, trams, or buses?
Tech won’t solve traffic, proper investment into public transportation will. Investment in these startups should be funneled into self driving public transportation.

Literally anyone [still] in the autonomous vehicle market is ahead of Tesla. They’re a joke.

But holy shit a marvel of marketing. Better be a case study in business school. They had little to no actual implementation for years and years but are still the go-to name for autonomous driving and selling subscriptions to something that doesn’t exist. Absolutely wild.
