I am so confused. Let’s give a fully functional, perfect FSD to Elon Musk. I don’t know even with that, this robotaxi thing would be successful. Why are people assuming that it will be the biggest thing ever? There are buses, trains, taxis, Uber, Lyft, etc. For riders, there is no difference between taking a regular taxi or Waymo and taking a Tesla robotaxi. Thinking robotaxi will be cheaper than buses and trains is ridiculous. If it is cheaper than a bus/train fare, how is a robotaxi Tesla owner going to make 30,000 dollars or whatever number Elon came up with, especially if everyone buys a Tesla for that? It is outrageously inefficient. At best, it would be a glorified Uber/Lyft. And, lastly, Americans love consuming and owning things. People are not going to suddenly ride robotaxi instead of driving their own cars.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

I'm with you. Why are people assuming that robo taxi will be the biggest thing ever? The service that the robo taxi has the potential to provide already exists, and it has since the days of the horse drawn cart. Who cares if it is a "driverless" taxi? Rideshare drivers aren't exactly the highest paid labour on the planet. Trying to replace them with technology is going to have such a minimal impact on costs, you've got to wonder why. And then there is the human interaction to consider. Rideshare drivers are able to help people with their luggage, they're able to have a conversation and they are able to police behaviour, to an extent, at least. And you make a very good point regarding people "owning things". We like our autonomy, and cars give that to us. At the end of the day, you take your car 99% of the time, you don't hail a cab, book a rideshare or catch public transport. Car "culture" isn't just about hot cars, it's about how we use our cars. Cars are a lot more than just transport. Robo Taxi won't change that.

Sadly, several motorcyclists have been killed by Teslas on assisted driving, probably because they lack a true distance-measuring capability, so you’re justified in staying away from them. I do the same when I ride my bicycle and I notice a Tesla approaching via my side mirrors. I’ve seen several demonstration clips where the vehicle suddenly veers towards an unsuspecting bicyclist it’s approaching and the driver has to grab the wheel and steer away. I hate we’re all exposed to a giant beta test without informed consent.

We need big dreamers but also good engineers who can make it a reality. It reminds me of the iPod. Toshiba came to an Apple engineer and showed him a prototype 1 inch drive they had no idea what to use for it was neat but too small for a laptop. Jobs saw it and said I can now carry all my songs in my pocket. They shipped it with iTunes a year and a bit later ... no empty promises or tweet or next year. It worked the first day out of the box as promised.

Some early cars had multiple rows of seats and some had seats in what is now called the trunk - called the "dicky seat". And people were slim, so the "bench" seat could have 3 or 4 people across. Ahhh, the days of no seat belts. A Horse and buggy was equivalent to todays 2 door sports car.

[@larryo6874]

I think Musk would have been smarter to go with the 25K Tesla. The August robotaxi show I think will just be a pretty mockup of what the car will supposedly look like but since FSD is only level 2 a REAL robotaxi is a long ways off and would most likely have an exorbitant price that few people could pay for (lidar is expensive 🤗). Musk is just trying to pump up the stock with these robotaxi announcements while Tesla is going downhill.

Drones can take off, fly around and land on their own but yet no one wants to use them for transportation without pilots out front with skin in the game. I would say it's important to appreciate the difference between putting trust in a replaceable disposable piece of tech versus another human. If the airline industry could cut out the cost of employing pilots I'm sure they would. Beyond the novelty, is this ultimately what people want?

[@2LegHumanist]

The expectation that you could achieve level 5 with cameras and a neural network on the grounds that humans have eyes and brains, demonstrates that Musk has only a superficial understanding of AI. Artificial neural networks are a very poor analogue of biological neural networks. He has forced the company down this road due to pure hubris and ignorance.

[@PonziZombieKiller]

Yeap. He is too stoned....

[@chow-chihuang4903]

Plus we also use our other senses when driving, and our eyes provide some form of distance gauging due to their very shallow depth of field and much higher resolution in their narrow field of view, unlike fixed focus cameras with much lower resolution.

[@2LegHumanist]

@chow-chihuang4903 That's all true, but we also rely heavily on our general knowledge of the world, how it works and we can build world models in our heads to predict what will happen. And even more significant is our ability to extrapolate. Humans don't have to be explicitly trained forvevery narrowly defined situation we can find ourselves in on the road. We can solve edge cases on the fly. Machine learning models can't do that. They have to be trained in advance and there is no amount of data Tesla could gather and process that will cover all of the edge cases. Tesla could run 1 billion cars for 10k years and they'd still barely be scratching the surface.

[@smccarthy945]

Exactly. You will never get level 5 with just cameras. You need LiDAR.

@smccarthy945 Lidar, 3d mapping, geofencing etc all help to constrain the problem space, but Waymo etc havent solved it either. They still have ro regularly intervene, they just do it remotely.

There is absolutly no way a robo taxi can be cheaper than a bus. When you ride the bus you are giving up time (hours per day) in exchange for a very cheep ride. A robo taxi would somehow have to save riders time AND money.

When I am on a bus, I just pull out my laptop and do work. So no, I am not giving up time to save money. And yes there is no way a robo-taxi can be as cheap as bus ($2 per ride in major US cities) - even charging much more, most robo-taxi operations are losing money big time.

I'd guess Mush(sic) knows this but cannot admit it publicly. Just like the cars, the margins will be tiny. Tesla is out of time, self driving isn't here even on the existing vehicles so who believes in a completely new Tesla robotaxi anytime soon?

[@primekry3747]

You do realize that they designing this first robot taxi vehicle to satisfy the majority of usage first right? Look at the data that released by Uber where most usage are for 1 to 2 people.

[@sirbum1918]

Just think if all buses, trams and subways were replaced by Rob taxis... If you look up stupid that guy will be there staring back at you.

[@kellymoses8566]

The most important thing is that Tesla FSD is no where near good enough to be used for robotaxis

[@KnightSoulsG]

We need robo maids for the laundry and the cleaning

[@larryo6874]

And gourmet cooking…

[@tibbydudeza]

Sure sure ... sex as well 😂

[@lesliechung79]

Arnold in a Robo Taxi - DRIVE DRIVE!!!!!!!

[@LiftingDonuts]

He is also wrong about Battery Swap...

Cheaper than the bus? Here in the UK most of us who are retired travel the bus for free!

[@chow-chihuang4903]

And some cities provide all mass transit fare-free because they consider it a public service like public roads and sidewalks instead of a profit center, and it reduces traffic congestion. They basically save themselves and their riders the cost and hassle of a fare collection system. I used the heck out of the complimentary shuttle bus service at my college. The only issue was limited hours on weekends.

a complete con job. all vaporware.

I'm 38 years old I think the Cyber truck looks dumb included I like to have a vehicle which is Arrow Dynamic so means less drag it needs to run with and yes I think of the future every so often I always keep walking forward to see what's next coming out😊

[@MirceaGoia]

This guy, Farzad, looks like he never visited Europe, Asia or even South America. Or probably not even New York. To see that people would take the bus, metro, tramway, train and such. And the cities would prefer less cars inside of them (electric or not).

[@realchris]

Yep, that's exactly it and their audience is the same. I'll make a video about the subway here in Busan just for the Tesla fan boys and girls.

[@origaminefretami3480]

Farzad has to be paid by Elon

[@frankallen3634]

No state would allow a car with no steering wheel brakes or pedals.

[@vincentorlando6767]

Chris, maybe a episode on the authorized bio of Elon Musk. It would be interesting. Whenever I see an "authorized bio" done with approval, cooperation, review of the person being written about, I don't believe the content 100%

[@natewesley8507]

I’m just glad there are still some people out there that aren’t afraid to speak truth to Elon thank you brother what you do is greatly appreciated oh and p.s. your wife is one hundred percent correct they are stupid liars

[@realchris]

Always listen to the wife :)

[@AvocadoAtrocity]

I won't be surprised if the robotaxi has lidar, sonar, and vision. Watch. 😅

[@Raventerp01]

Hey Chris, would love to get your thoughts on the next gen/low cost car. Reuters had reported that it was scrapped and then Musk stated it was actually being accelerated. Would love to know what is going on there. Thanks!

[@chow-chihuang4903]

That would be helpful as nothing I’ve seen them share would take a skilled CAD or Photoshop user more than an hour (the digital greyscale renderings) to a week of effort (the “photorealistic” 3D renderings), and wouldn’t be able to produce more than a non-functional aesthetic model.

[@aircraftmech123456]

Cyber TAXI will happen! :) it will take you from airport terminal to parking garage! :) kinda like the Boring tunnel in Vegas.

[@chow-chihuang4903]

And those still require human drivers! If the assisted driving systems can’t handle a routine fixed route like a tunnel system with passenger pickup/dropoff stations, why are they allowed to be used on public roads?
