Robotaxi looks cool. Optimus is being hyped like the Segway and isn’t even close to doing what he says. But the car is the first personal robot for sure. Self driving is great. Until they force it on us for safety reasons.

Tesla plans to launch fully autonomous driving in Texas and California next year, with the Cybercab production by 2026 — although he said it could be as late as 2027.

Maybe they won't but you will not pay insurance once you use it.   Tesla takes the liability away from you.

 

So you can own/ride with FSD and you pay no insuance, or drive yourself but also pay an insurance premium (and be a 20-30x worse driver than FSD).

Elon Musk unveiled a prototype of Tesla’s Robovan on Thursday night during the company’s We, Robot event in Los Angeles. The Robovan will be an electric, autonomous vehicle roughly the size of a bus, designed for transporting people around high density areas. It will carry up to 20 people at a time and also transport goods, according to Musk.

 

“We’re going to make this, and it’s going to look like that,” said Musk on Thursday night as the Robovan rolled towards center stage. That’s about as much as Musk was willing to say, and we’re not even sure that much is true.

I've said for years that the plug seems silly in most cases.

The rear wheels are larger than the front, but it looks cool.

If it's successful, it'll kill a lot more than that lol.

Man, where's the simple, normal electric minivan for 8, Elon?

The whole thing yesterday looked like a carnival for little children. Slow moving vehicles navigating a closed circuit, animatronics and techno music. I tried to catch a bouncy castle, but there was the dancing robot stage, so maybe that’s good enough.

Ya, no one kicking the bots....
