Is the human able to get out and pee? Does it have le...like, a body? With legs? Or more like RoboCop? "Accidentally" dead person comes back to life in taxi form.
Diapers. And an electric explosive collar if they try to run. Its cheaper than sending them to.el salvador.
I must say, it's been a little nicer not having this dipshit in the headlines every single fucking day. I guess he's going to start saying things again and fuck with my peace of mind.
I think Musk should 100% trust his fucking piece of shit robotaxi tech and use it exclusively. Good chance it drives him off a bridge.
Waymo doesn't need it, but he does? lol

- Step 3: After extensive testing in step 2, full rollout of final product.

For ‘driving’ reasons.
Remember his robots - ROFL

Can't wait for Nat geo to make a series about maga-inventions. Must be some wild never-published concepts in there.
I'm planning to launch a human-only taxi service, but to cut costs the humans will be AI.
Tesla's brand of self driving is unsafe, you say?
