Guys guys, there's a difference between hopping straight up and an orbital launch. SpaceX is landing and catching boosters that send stuff to orbit. It actually flies back. Even if the earth wasn't rotating, it would still be a significant challenge.

I REALLY agree with the take “why not a bus?” For the Tesla event showcase. Public transportation like buses & trains are wayyy more efficient at getting a large amount of people from point A to point B. It’d be cool to see stuff from Tesla for electric, full-self-driving buses, rather than inefficient 2 seater cars that get stuck in traffic.

[@AdhiNarayananYR]

because americans don’t like public transportation, they loooove their cars.

I live in San Francisco next to one of the Waymo garages/warehouses. I see probably a couple dozen of them self-driving in my own and nearby neighborhoods every day, and they're already driving at least as well as the average driver. They're definitely more cautious in some cases, which doesn't always mean better driving, but they're very consistent in terms of following the rules of the road which means when you're sharing the road with them you can be absolutely certain how they will behave which is an enormous advantage over random human drivers. So, the larger the percentage of self-driving cars the safer the roads should be, and the better the driving experience is for human drivers as well.

The taxi service could work in some of those newly designed cities popping up outside of metro areas. The townhouse/shopping center/park-themed places that have the self-driving taxis.

[@WestCoastAce27]

These clowns smooth brained the use cases. They could easily be geo-fenced to only support local routes. I live in a series of 4 beach communities w a LOT of oldsters who could use my 3 robotaxis (yes, I will buy them the day they’re announced) all day. 2 seats and room for groceries would be fine.

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

@@theobservarator6424 insurance, just like now but much cheaper because accidents will happen less often and be less severe. Ai don’t get drunk or distracted or race each other but you’re right it won’t be perfect but a hell of a lot better than 40k loved ones dying EVERY YEAR.

@@TheGreatestJuJu Who's insurance? Mine? I'm liable for an AI killkg someone?

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

@@theobservarator6424 No, the company that charges you for the software. They will have insurance and the customer will pay for it through a built in higher cost for the software license. However, crashes should get much more infrequent the more people are using Ai. Ai can react faster than any human and can see in all directions at the same time and can calculate trajectories and tolerances that a human couldn’t. It will drive superhuman. Right now, getting in your car and driving is the most dangerous activity anybody does with their day. It’s a false sense of security because there’re many crashes, including fatal crashes, that happen everyday where the driver had zero input into the outcome. I get why people don’t want to ‘trust’ a program with your life but programs are more predictable than humans. If I have to risk my life, I’d rather it be in the most predictably safe way possible.

And the entire 398ft tall feature lauches splits and lands back "between tweezers" whiile thrust vectoring with 33 Raptor engines on the booster and six Raptor and Raptor Vacuum (RVac) engines on the Starship is just the best show on earth? Huge props to Elon for the vision.

You can if you live in Jersey or New York City. Those guys have 24hr underground train systems, for heaven's sake.
