Or they could not be. Which seems like the more likely case given the current state of self-driving cars that cannot even safely drive down a pre-planned underground tunnel without a driver. (The Tesla tunnel)

Your spin is not ad worthy.

I will point out there are actually pretty good driverless cars, they just aren't made by Tesla. Look up Waymo if you want to look into them.

Ars Technica is a captured outlet. They consistently post dangerous corpo propaganda and little else.

It used to be the preferred outlet of many communities on here. I heard that it made a deal with OpenAI or something? What happened?

And here has only existed for like a year or two. What the hell happened in the last few months?

Will they be more economic than a train?

Another failed Musk psycho promise from 2017, and they still have NOTHING!

Nope! But it will sell a lot of new trucks!

I was referring to Musk claiming this a few years back. Added a /Musk for clarity.
Hinting that this is probably about as much bullshit as when Muski says "Next Year" 8 years in a row for fully autonomous driving.

PS: The Muski was a typo, but I'll let it stand, because it's an excellent reference to Musk being a Russian asset.

Sure, 126 months away if we're being optimistic.

Hey, that's how old my baby boy turned today. What a coincidence!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Months away!? Where are they driving from?

one got confused and stopped in an intersection, then decided to perform system updates and got stuck in a bootloop. the rest are behind it.

Not if we put orange cones on all their hoods.
