A problem with AI is that it is relatively easy to get 90-95% accuracy but higher than that is a completely different game. They will tell you sound-great number like 1000x rate of disengagement but the thing is that you going to need way more than that for a reliable driverless taxi

Telsa vehicles have killed humans. It's all over the Net. Please look it up. 😢

It's hard to get vehicle insurance if you drive an EV?

If autonomous driving becomes a commodity, buy Uber. If it becomes a moat, buy Telsa.

You’re designing a very specific machine for a very specific animal, “Humans” in this case. To also work in a world (a future world full of peace) that will also never exist. Please Allow me to explain. The Jetsons was an incredibly inspiring cartoon for creators and inventors including myself. But there will never be a world (pardon my French) without assholes. Where everyone is just walking around with zero envy, where everyone’s rich and happy, no one’s on drugs or road raging or bullying or mentally unstable. You need to build an armored tank that’s bullet proof. that can drive through Oakland California. Also The AI needs to immediately recognize and ban homeless because of all the diseases they carry and can transmit to your baby the moment you put them down on the seat the homeless heroin addict just sat in. Build those seats using “microban” and have an insanely intense UV sterilization cycle after each right. You could armor it simply by making that PLEXI glass 3 inches thicker that way its looks the same but much more capable.

There are many new videos on YouTube by Tesla owners who have installed version 13.2. of Full Self Driving (FSD) I watched several of them including 2 recorded in NYC downtown Manhattan. FSD 13 looks good. The usage data is probably helping Tesla but users of FSD pay $99 / month. Those creating videos on YouTube are getting something back for being content providers. FSD is not driverless. One has to be attentive and be prepared to intervene.

Dumb. Completely dumb. How about public companies start focusing on Main Street and building tools that encourage small businesses to participate rather than trying to eat at every local market. There is a reason why Mexican taxi cabs are working together to stop this invasion of stupid tech ceos. Build platforms for everyone to participate. Culebra Partners 4ever. Peace out losers.

Musks little two seat Robotaxi will fail. You heard it here first. The need will be for vehicles that carry at least 4 passengers. He might fake it for a few months but it will be a huge failure. AI will be Uber, or Lyft. Ride shares will be cheaper than small 2 people cars. I it’s a very poor design, and will not last.
