Musk has a concept of a plan to get the Cybercab ready for mass production.I'm surprised I'm the first to post this but Musk's RoboTaxi event didn't go according to plan but did go exactly how most of humanity knew it would; short on details, long on promises, all with an over-optimistic timeline. Oh, and Tesla shares are down almost 9% right now.
Tesla robotaxi: Cybercab unveiled by Elon Musk

Questions are being asked about Mr Musk's prediction that production of the Cybercab would begin some time "before 2027", given his track record of failing to meet his own deadlines.
"I tend to be optimistic with time frames," he quipped during the event.

"Waymo is now hosting 100k rides per week in major cities, so we expect more from TSLA's demo," Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan said.markets.businessinsider.com
"The Cybercab demos were conducted on a movie set in a well-controlled environment, and were very similar to a slow and short amusement park ride. Waymo is now hosting 100k rides per week in major cities, so we expect more from TSLA's demo," Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan said.
His slew of announcements during a 20-minute presentation were short on practical details and prompted investors to push Tesla stock down as much as 10% on Friday.
The New York City Taxi Commision, which used to be run by Repubs, and now run by Dems, would love to see their taxi drivers replaced by AI. /sMusk has a concept of a plan to get the Cybercab ready for mass production.
At one point today Uber and Lyft were both up 10%, I assume because people though this was such a joke.I'm surprised I'm the first to post this but Musk's RoboTaxi event didn't go according to plan but did go exactly how most of humanity knew it would; short on details, long on promises, all with an over-optimistic timeline.

You skipped the part where they were going to claim military exceptions for permits on all launches, regardless of if it was a military mission or not.At least they are being open about why they are rejecting the increase in launches.
State officials cited Musk’s antics in rejecting SpaceX’s plan to launch more rockets off the Central California coast.
“I really appreciate the work of the Space Force,” said Commission Chair Caryl Hart. “But here we’re dealing with a company, the head of which has aggressively injected himself into the presidential race and he’s managed a company in a way that was just described by Commissioner Newsom that I find to be very disturbing.”
If it would mean not having to deal with surly NYC cab drivers who get upset or refuse to take you to places in the city, I'd take that replacement. I remember from my years living in and around NYC several rides from LGA to Astoria with a cab driver complaining about the short airport trip (despite short trips meaning they could get right back into that lucrative taxi queue), or other drivers pulling over upon being flagged, asking where you were going, then driving off because they didn't want to go there (a violation of TLC rules).The New York City Taxi Commision, which used to be run by Repubs, and now run by Dems, would love to see their taxi drivers replaced by AI. /s
Uber is an evil company but I was perfectly happy to see them destroy the NYC taxi business.If it would mean not having to deal with surly NYC cab drivers who get upset or refuse to take you to places in the city, I'd take that replacement.

Turns out the “robots” were being remotely operated.
It’s ok the kids will be watched over by AI powered cameras.Elon Musk's Beer-Pouring Optimus Robots Are Not Autonomous
The robots were interacting with guests at Tesla's big Cybercab event Thursday in L.A.gizmodo.com
I wouldn’t be surprised if Leons “fully self-driving” cars are just being run by a guy in India with a remote driving rig.
I’m not sure what’s more ridiculous - these “cabs” or the idea that public school districts have the money to spend on them. Musk basically spent all this time, money and hype just to come up with an inferior alternative to school buses. Apparently he suggested these things could be used as school buses.

I can’t see any potential problems with replacing a bus that can hold 60-80 kids each with vehicles that only hold 12. and then putting 12 tech-savvy children into a self-driving pod with no adult supervision. I guess 12 per bus keeps the death rate at a more acceptable number? My kids are adults now, but no way would I let my kids be transported in a vehicle without adult supervision.
And with no windows and probably no emergency stop button. What could go wrong?Elon Musk's Beer-Pouring Optimus Robots Are Not Autonomous

Biden doesn't invite him to a pro-union event: "they are the devil, fuck all Dems."
Trump promises to end all electric cars: "I love this guy and will spend millions to get him elected."
Elon Musk is a man-child. It’s no surprise he comes up with half-baked ideas like this. Any rational adult could easily find flaws in them. He could really use some adult supervision himself.Elon Musk's Beer-Pouring Optimus Robots Are Not Autonomous

Tesla's valuation aside, the oligarchs paper net worth is predicated on a status quo in the income tax regime. It's easy to see why Elon would love a lifelong tax cheat to be POTUS. That represents the least overall "threat" to his finances.Biden doesn't invite him to a pro-union event: "they are the devil, fuck all Dems."

This is a problem in general for the US, Democrats have to be perfect, Republicans don't have to be anything.

For sure the audio interaction was live human response.Turns out the “robots” were being remotely operated.
Well the incredible team at SpaceX caught the Super Heavy Booster on the first attempt.
Starship upper stage was brought down on target in the Indian Ocean.
