Honestly, this just exposes how bad the author is at math.

Like congratulations, you've heard of a linear trend line, surely all systems can be modelled with nothing more than an unchanging straight line right?

I hope nothing but the worst for Tesla, but this kind of guffawing at the most basic possible extrapolation just makes the author look dumb.

I mean, they're going to accelerate the pace, obviously...

"unsupervised" means that AI (Actually Indian) is driving those things, most of the time, right?

I'm fine with that timeline. The rollout in Austin hasn't been the smoothest -- though in faiirness, we now have so many Waymos in town that they keep having issues like knowing what to do when encountering an emergency vehicle. They aren't going around killing people, but that's a pretty low bar.

Why do we need robot taxis?

I’m currently renting a Model Y with the latest FSD and I’m very impressed. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and put about 1,200 miles on it. I’d say 99% or more FSD.

Truly mind blowing at times. Drove for 90 mins or so through rush hour leaving Miami Beach perfectly. End to end parking everywhere I go.

I don’t know about the whole cab thing working out, but it’s damn good while supervised.
