Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they're pulled?

Infinite is valid all things considered.

DOGE will make sure it won't be pulled. They'll shut down any administration that tries.

This LiDAR tech vs Tesla video makes me wish Tesla will use LiDAR in their self-driving Robotaxi fleet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ&t=556s

They won't. Musk has a hard-on for doing everything with visible cameras for some stupid reason.

Because he's cheap and didn't wanna spend the money. It's why the interior is so plain for the amount of money you spend.

Not really. I mean that would require a timeline where humanity is both stupid enough to keep Tesla around and survives indefinitely which is highly unlikely.

Infinite just means it will never be pulled for causing accidents.

Okay, in that case I guess it is possible that we are stupid enough to keep them around and stupid enough to wipe ourselves out so soon that they will be around until the end of humanity.

Yeah, I don't bet w/ human lives, I'm not an insurance company.
