Make Elon test ride the first Tesla robotaxi and there's a chance the funniest thing of all time will happen.

Some cartoon shit

Insurance fraud is going to bankrupt Tesla robotaxis faster than an incompetent CEO ever could.

There will be too many ways to defeat the cameras and not having LiDAR unlike the rest of the industry may prove to be found to be a failure of duty of care.

Meep meep!

New stuff to add to the car kit bag for the 21st century

1. poster board to block usonic weapons
2. black paint, white paint, roller, brush to paint tunnels on walls
3. orange cones to pen in self driving cars

That's some Wiley Coyote shit if I ever saw it.

You all keep calling it wrong. It's pronounced Tesler.

This would be hilarious if it weren't for shitty cars causing deaths.

That said, I always wondered why we don't find a system like RFID that could penetrate concrete and asphalt, and plant passive receivers in roads? We re-pave roads so damn often in this country (the U.S.) it seems like we could've knocked it out in the past couple of decades, minus our most rural areas.

I know RFID itself isn't strong enough, but I imagine that would've been an easier problem than figuring our complete self driving. Not to mention making GPS a secondary system for U.S. road travel in most cases.

Maybe it's just a dumb shower thought?

I am very glad that Elon and Trump have overreached and now Tesla is suffering. I hope Starlink is the next domino to fall.

I remember elon saying something along the lines of his camera system being just as good and they thusly don't need to employ things like LIDAR.

Painted walls, the natural enemy of the Tesla.

The wall looking like a road test

They obviously pre-cut the wall, probably for safety reasons, and they were like, let's make it a silly cartoon impact hole while we're at it.

Good job.
