Elon spent all this money on making a taxi that drives itself but needs a driver and only works some of the time.
Elon is a genius.....
This is even worse than I expected. I expected another delay, or a autonomous taxi with a remote driver constantly monitoring at best. This is no better than a regular taxi.
More like Hobotaxi, am I right?
Or Nobotaxi, if that's funnier. Whichever you like is fine.
- Will have a driver in the "robo" taxi
- Will need to only run on specific area at specific time frame
- Won't run in "bad" weather
- Has all other kinds of small rules and quirks.
This seems like a complete waste of time for everyone involved.
It's almost like it's a grift for government contracts
SMH not even 700 ppl remote working in India like Amazon
Are they allowed to honk?
So..... A regular taxi, then? 🤔🤭😂😂😂😂
No, this will be less convenient and more expensive. Like the tesla tunnel thing in Vegas: subway, but much worse.
The autonomous taxis near me are legit more expensive than lift and Uber, the only time I tried to use it at least.
They've also got agents watching you inside the autonomous taxi at all times, so that's fun.
More fraud.
So just a regular Taxi then.....groundbreaking.
He did it again. Except now you have a shitty robo taxi with a driver that pays no attention. The worst of both worlds.
if he innovates even more he might eventually invent trains!
Like the Paris metro
