driving automation supposed to be a long tail problem but Tesla out here innovating it into a short tail problem 😭

And internally they’re probably saying “hey, at least it didn’t explode like a cybertruck!!”

It's going to be as successful as the other Musk creation, Starship

Not joking: I literally had Tesla veering into my lane last weekend and almost hit me.
It was not robotaxi, rather just a distracted driver, but it still baffles me how it could happen, considering the amount of sensors, self-assist driving, etc.

Yeah, but what other rideshare service has a “just fucking gun it!!!” button you can push when you see red lights?

And who's losing the driver's license now? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where's the KABOOM?!

It's ironic that the closer we seem to get to automation the more my friend in engineering who said he believes there's a hard limit to what technology can do that will keep us from ever reaching 100% automation seems correct.

In this dystopia, for-profit companies ($TSLA) consider it a "weakness" and "unmasculine" to obey laws. They also think it's funny when their product kills a customer "for the lulz." FYI

Just me, or does it seem that Tesla is essentially begging to be shut down so that they can blame autonomous taxi rollout delays on the government.

Like even Tesla must realize that even one collision is pretty much game over.

yeah just don't be heading in the opposite direction

they don't care about dead souls when they are developing a cash cow

The “this is fine” burning house meme is about to be replaced by one of a dog siting in the back of a driverless Tesla.

Hard to comment when both hands are on the steering wheel driving a robotaxi.

It's rough out there....

I would be too busy figuring out how to convert my crypto bribe beans into actual money so I can flee to a jurisdiction that lacks an extradition treaty with the US.
