I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:

Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process. Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on. Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.

And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.

The rent seeking is so hard with this automate-the-profits bullshit.

The moment we perfect auto-taxis the service should be a public benefit and run by a nonprofit.

    NYC Mayoral candidate Mamdani is talking about making busses free, and that makes a radical shitload of sense.

    Free autotaxis would be a boon for productivity and personal freedom, like AI promises to be but democratized for everybody rather than just the richest fraction of a percent.

    Thanks for pointing out how insane and disconnected the elon glazers are in believing their Teslas will drive off while they sleep to earn any kind of positive cash flow, then show up back home just in time to recharge for the commute to work, smelling fresh as a daisy.
