  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

It's a good thing that's not what's happening, but I guess that doesn't help the "Musk Bad" agenda

is planning to hire a human team to remotely troubleshoot its robotaxi operations.

The job post also notes that such a teleoperation center requires “building highly optimized low latency reliable data streaming over unreliable transports in the real world.” Tele-operators can be “transported” into the robotaxi via a “state-of-the-art VR rig,” it adds.

Sounds an awful lot like they're going to need someone to remote pilot those cars when they get stuck. It also sounds like the system will have at least some latency, and will probably rely entirely on cameras, since Musk doesn't build LiDAR or other non-visual sensors into his cars anymore! Anyway, sorry if that disrupts your, "I'm a sad dork who feels the need to defend the world's richest man even though he makes hundreds of stupid, childish decisions that are clearly detrimental to the companies he owns," agenda.
