Robotaxi is an aircraft IMO
Yup, fully autonomous flight including takeoff/landing has been possible for over a decade. While flying, aircraft autopilot and aircraft fully autonomous flight are completely different environments than ground vehicle fully autonomous driving. Aircraft speeds while on the ground can be... -
Robotaxi is an aircraft IMO
Even if there was no human pilot I highly doubt eVTOL costs will be anywhere close to be as low as 0.89/mile. Today autos with owner as driver is 0.50 - .070 / mile. ARK Invest and Tesla project costs for Robotaxi & FSD at ~.20/mile If you take out battery replacement cost the estimate for... -
Robotaxi is an aircraft IMO
Maybe not so real. Joby has a Military airworthiness certificate. They do not yet have a FAA commercial airworthiness. Military airworthiness has a lot of exemptions, differences in specifications and allowed operating theaters (ie. not over densely populated areas). There is no guarantee... -
Robotaxi is an aircraft IMO
Not just NYC but cities with many tall buildings and that experience frequent poor weather. Many large cities in Northeast & Midwest (ie. Chicago), San Francisco, Seattle. General weather in NYC compared to southern California and general U.S. southwest. Even smaller commercial fixed wing... -
Robotaxi is an aircraft IMO
Even in perfect weather the 7 minutes they depict for the trip does not include boarding procedures (body scan xray, shoes off and bomb sniffing, search of brief/laptop case & backpack, etc), flight clearance, etc. eVTOL might be might be practical in southern California or Las Vegas or Phoenix... -
A Tesla drives into a bar...
That is out right FUD & a lie. It is ICE vehicles that burst into flames immediately on impact not Tesla. It takes at least 5 minutes (sometimes days) for a Tesla to burst into flames AFTER impact. -
Report: Tesla to source next-gen FSD self driving chips from TSMC
Probably new cameras next year. Current cameras are 1.2 megapixel (resolution approx 1280 x 960 pixel) and new cameras might be 5 megapixel (2,560 x 1,920 pixels). Cybertruck might be first model to get the higher resolution cameras. I agree that FSD should have better cameras. Multiple 4K or... -
Tesla drivers say they've faced more incidents of road rage since they started driving the electric cars
Of course some somebodies had their horse do that. Just no Internet or twitter to spread the meme. No everybody has a camera in their pocket to capture the event and post on TikTok, twitter & Youtube. -
Tesla drivers say they've faced more incidents of road rage since they started driving the electric cars
And these are only the few that are bold enough to post on the Internet. There are a lot more. This behavior started way before Teslas became popular. 2010s Nissan Leaf owners experienced it to. This behavior is my main concern with getting a Cybertruck. Cybertruck will be like a magnet to... -
Insane homeless dude attacks my fully self-driving Waymo taxi
Not necessarily. Just like with direct personal attacks, some people run while others freeze. This is why I think Robotaxis needs to be like Cybertruck, windows of tough break-resistant glass and doors / passenger cabin of bullet-resistant stainless steel. -

Power plants vs batteries
Yes, it is physically possible to have the vast majority of the world's power come from solar panels (grid scale solar farms, solar from home/work/retail building rooftops, parking lot / driveway, sidewalk / roadway canopies), wind turbines (mostly grid scale farms), hydro-electric dams... -

Musk say's "Too much on my plate" [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]
Yup. I spent many years in management. Did all those functions including firing employees. When I had to fire an employee I considered it partially my failure. Reason the Apprentice TV show that made it a game & entertainment the audience cheered sickened me.
