    The lengths he goes to to reinvent public transit but significantly worse just so nobody ever has to see a stranger are truly astounding

      He said the cost probably over time. So in other words it’s more expensive than a bus but probably over time it might get cheaper.

        I was being way too favourable to him in my comment definitely by taking his figures for it, for sure he used inflated city estimates and depressed internal costs, not to mention the cost per passenger is still lower with mass transit even at low usage rates. The audience plant immediately asking if they can buy the vehicle before the rest can think 2 seconds about the useless stat he just spat out was timely too

    All that money and he didn't even come up with the most obvious solution.

    The main point of concern with this is obviously Tesla's subpar hardware and software for the job… but also why make it two seats? Most real taxis have 4-6 passenger seats

    I’ve seen videos of people walking up and vandalizing those self-driving taxis while a passenger is still inside them lol

    I don't trust a computer to make snap judgement properly in winter weather or other non-standard road conditions.

        Working in delivery, they’re gonna have a blast when trying to automate the delivery side of postal work. Good fucking luck getting people to comply with box mounting requirements to the letter around here
