    Y’all want to laugh but you lack the larger picture.

    These folks will be on demand if a car gets stuck or lost. You’ll have 1 person to 10 cabs and that number will go up as they collect data and iterate.

    Your hated over this dude has really blinded many of you. You can be pissed but this is going to mostly replace human cab drivers in 15 years.

    AI isn’t going to immediately replace anyone. It will reduce demand over decades.

      Yeah, what can go wrong.

      In another thread we’re in a discussion about housing and you’re like it’s not that bad I was able to buy a house.

      I’m starting to suspect you’re a tech bro and now it all makes sense why it’s not that bad.

      It’s not about hating Elon, the dude with most punchable face ever, it’s about hating the fact that my safety is gonna be compromised by lazy fucks who can’t drive themselves and instead are letting the “AI” (aka a poor remote “cab driver” who’s “driving” a dozen other cars at the same time) drive the car for them.

      You financially benefit from this shit no wonder you support it. Tech bros are selling out humanity.

        180,000 rides a week happen right now using this practice for Waymo right? They are just copying the practice. 0 cars are being driven by remotely people to and from places. It’s fear mongering. If a car gets stuck because it’s sensors believe something is in front of it, it will stay stopped and flag a handler to evaluate. The person will say your fine move forward or tell the vehicle to stay where it is until someone moves the shopping cart someone left behind it. Once moved, they’ll re-enable the car and it will go on its way.

        If there is actually something wrong like someone rear ending it at a stop light, then they may put it into some liml mode, give it a parking lot close by to pull into while they watch, then turn it off to await someone to show up and assess damages.

      I tend to think half of it is bots judging by the pattern of what gets said on the mirad of topics touching the companies he runs.

      Then the way they rabidly pounce on anything like the water deluge system at starbase causing massive pollution that wasn’t true, then the court basically reaffirms everything SpaceX said happens and denys an injunction to stop it’s use and they will still forever hate it, is quite telling of their hatred or ignorance.
