If we're gonna let them on the road, I say that software should get points just like a driver, but when it gets suspended all the cars running that software get shut down.

Haaa, finally !! An AI taxi that behaves like a normal taxi driver. It must feel so refreshing.
Wow it's almost like having an AI with a 2D view to go off of is a bad idea? Hmmm who'd have thunk it?
You're telling me we're not at the point where self driving cars are a thing? But a Tech CEO said so? Who am I supposed to believe if not a Tech CEO?
Self-driving cars are a thing, Weymo is doing pretty fine.
But you might be able to spot a few (dozen) teeny-tiny (huge, bulky and extremely obvious) differences between a Waymo and a Tesla cybercab.
Lie dare you claim Waymo is better than Tesla
(it is a lidar joke, Waymo has lidar sensors which makes it way safer)
Fucking hell. We don't let drunks drive taxis, and that goddamn thing drove like it was under the influence.
Does Tesla get sent tickets for traffic violations, or are we OK with this?
I'm sure they're legal team is hard at work trying to find loopholes to circumvent any traffic infringements

So, Tesla Robitaxis drive like a slightly drunk and confused tourist with asshole driving etiquette.
Those right turns on red were like, "oh you get to go? That's permission for me to go too!"

Oof, these highlighted parts from only one video are already enough for me. This looks very stressful, I don't think I could finish a whole ride with one of these.
Don’t worry. It’ll get into a collision before you finish a whole ride.
Well obviously it's been trained on human taxi driver behaviour
Not great performance at all.
That's better than I was expecting to be perfectly honest.
I'm pretty impressed with the technology, but clearly it's not ready for field use.

Watch that stock price fall... wheeeee
It already jumped up about 10% on monday simply because the service launched. Even if the service crashes and burns, they'll jump to the next hype topic like robots or AI or whatever and the stock price will stay up.

A man who can’t launch a rocket to save his life is also incompetent at making self driving cars? His mediocrity knows no bounds.
To be fair Musk only has money and doesnt Do shit at either Company
He meddles. That much is apparent. The cybertruck is obviously a top down design as evidenced by the numerous atrocious design compromised the engineers had to make just to make it real. From the glued on "exoskeleton" to the hollowed ALUMINUM frame to the complete lack of physical controls to the default failure state turning it into a coffin to the lack of waterproofing etc.

It's hilarious to me that Musk claims to work 100 hours a week but he's the CEO of five companies. Even if the claim were true (and of course it isn't) it means being the CEO of one of his companies is a 20-hour-a-week job at best.

At least it's not driving straight into a tree, I call that an improvement.

What's crazy is that the safety driver's hair has gone completely grey in just two days.

Hooray! I feel so safe. I think I'll move to Texas so I can get obliterated by this taxi from the future.
