Musk instead is now going all in with AI and Robotaxis.
Probably realised that "full" self-driving the way people think of it is not likely to happen in our lifetimes. And Tesla's existing system is an out and out scam.
But I expect he'll try and combine it with his stupid tunnel idea, instead of, I don't know, a train?
It’s funny how so many were confident FSD really was safer than human drivers 10 years ago. Some even said it’s irresponsible not to let these self driving cars drive on the street.
Some people are still claiming that.
That was the original idea. It was supposed to be self-driving buses to get a higher throughput. Then the buses went away and were replaced by normal cars, and then self driving was replaced with human drivers. The convenient lift to get to the tunnels was replaced by normal escalators and what was left from all those lofty plans was the underground taxi farce, with rgb lighting.
There’s no way in fucking hell ever that I would go into one of Muck’s underground death traps. It’s such an insanely dumb idea.
