    In addition to the Cybercab, Musk also announced plans to produce an autonomous, electric Robovan that can carry up to 20 people, or be used to transport goods. He said it will “solve for high density,” transporting a sports team, for example.

    ah yes, the riddle of the streets being clogged with sports team transportation vehicles.

    this guy has a blindspot for busses.

      Seeing a gymnasium full of grieving parents and your heart sinks because you assume there’s been another school shooting only to find out its because the varsity football’s Robovan decided to autonomously crash into a fuel depot.

      Transporting sports teams? In that thing? It takes like four or five of the giant charter buses to move a college football team from the hotel to the stadium. No way you can fit 20 football players comfortably in a robovan, not mention the mountains of equipment they bring with them. It would legit take 20 of those vans to do the job, which in Leon’s mind, will solve for high density.

      Speaking of sports, what happened to the Dugout line, or whatever the fuck dorks plan for moving fans from Echo Park to Dodger Stadium, which is not really that far of a jaunt

      That’s the most damning part IMO. People caught on to his infinite 2 years away self driving, so he shifted a bit and now a thing that is dependent on self driving is 2 years away. He lies like a child.

          no-copyright games started as pretty blatant and obvious pro-environmentalist messaging, considering how later stages showed industrialized hellscapes that eggman-announcement put in place where the enslaved roboticized animals toil away.

          But that’d fly over the head of bazingas as always, because literary analysis is bunk because it isn’t le STEM.

            Fully autonomous self driving vehicles do exist, the Vancouver skytrain has been running them since the 80’s.

            Fully autonomous self driving vehicles without tracks, grade separation, or platform screen doors running on the public roads mixing with cars, pedestrians, and velocipedestrians don’t exist.

    Robotaxi? Does Tesla do anything at this point except copy stuff that Chinese companies have been doing for years?
