In addition to the Cybercab, Musk also announced plans to produce an autonomous, electric Robovan that can carry up to 20 people, or be used to transport goods. He said it will “solve for high density,” transporting a sports team, for example.

ah yes, the riddle of the streets being clogged with sports team transportation vehicles.

this guy has a blindspot for busses.

Not a blindspot but a seething hatred

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

He directly said that mass transit, quote, "SUCKED!" because scary poor with a knife.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

I'm poor and always carry a knife and take public transit semi frequently, good to know I'm king bazinga's nightmare.

[-] LeZero@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago

I mostly walk everywhere and don't carry a knife, I need to starting upping my game

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

Knives are very useful general purpose tools to have on hand.

Seeing a gymnasium full of grieving parents and your heart sinks because you assume there's been another school shooting only to find out its because the varsity football's Robovan decided to autonomously crash into a fuel depot.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

It has no interior controls, even for an emergency, so you can imagine what is very likely happen next.

[-] poppy_apocalypse@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

Transporting sports teams? In that thing? It takes like four or five of the giant charter buses to move a college football team from the hotel to the stadium. No way you can fit 20 football players comfortably in a robovan, not mention the mountains of equipment they bring with them. It would legit take 20 of those vans to do the job, which in Leon's mind, will solve for high density.

Speaking of sports, what happened to the Dugout line, or whatever the fuck dorks plan for moving fans from Echo Park to Dodger Stadium, which is not really that far of a jaunt

Starting to realize the emperor is naked

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago

It's just a stock company. They could announce they were going to stop producing anything and I'm pretty sure the stock would continue to be traded

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 32 points 6 days ago

like... despite Tesla's repeated failures in this department, actually building cars isn't the hard part of solving autonomy

50 "prototype" cars that don't work and no plan, just "2 more years bro trust me bro"

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 6 days ago

That's the most damning part IMO. People caught on to his infinite 2 years away self driving, so he shifted a bit and now a thing that is dependent on self driving is 2 years away. He lies like a child.

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 30 points 6 days ago

They move too many people, 20 people is basically collectivist communist nonsense. Make it like a luxury mobile room for one person and put like a tv in it and they’ll love it

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago

revealing the dr robotnik hovercraft and instantly tripling my stock price

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago

I honestly imagine there’s a significant part of the finance bro archetype that would probably go woaw just like sonic soypoint-2 and give them money so … possibly?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

no-copyright games started as pretty blatant and obvious pro-environmentalist messaging, considering how later stages showed industrialized hellscapes that eggman-announcement put in place where the enslaved roboticized animals toil away.

But that'd fly over the head of bazingas as always, because literary analysis is bunk because it isn't le STEM.

Sonic leads a band of ecoterrorist in one of the late 90s cartoons.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

Sally Acorn was too great a character to ever have meaningful presence in the games. sicko-wistful

hot tub

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I can see the LinkedIn posts now. “I banged out so many computer tasks in my hot tub digital nomad mobile. Traffic used to be my biggest productivity sink, thanks Elon!”

[-] bortsampson@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I imagine these will end up as mobile party bars in some sketchy spring break city.

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

Bizarre. Who are these people who believed in Tesla through the last dozen "full self driving in two years" announcements, and yet finally saw through it for this?

[-] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Something about how the market can't stay irrational longer than something.... It's been a long time since gme

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

Still too many buy into this ting

Sometimes it seems like the most controversial thing I say to libs is that fully autonomous self driving doesn’t exist.

I've argued the same with my neighbors and coworkers back in CA for decades and it was always just a year or two away, and that I was the irrational one. morshupls

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

Fully autonomous self driving vehicles do exist, the Vancouver skytrain has been running them since the 80's.

Fully autonomous self driving vehicles without tracks, grade separation, or platform screen doors running on the public roads mixing with cars, pedestrians, and velocipedestrians don't exist.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

it was always just a year or two away, and that I was the irrational one.

It's the same with the Mars grift, "it's five years away, trust me!"

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Remember "all of you will be using AR/VR headsets in mandatory teleconferencing in a few years, better get in on the ground floor" proselytizing? I sure do.

Remember "you better start buying internet funny money/ugly monkey jpegs because that's the future of finance" proselytizing? I sure do.

[-] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago

After the event, analysts at Jeffries published a note titled “We, underwhelmed.”

this had me laughing

[-] halfpipe@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

Robotaxi? Does Tesla do anything at this point except copy stuff that Chinese companies have been doing for years?

Well, I'm sure the Tesla version will cost 10x as much and have a triple digit bodycount in the first month.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

Sounds like it went like a wet fart... which is one of the sound board options on the bazingamobiles as factory standard. fellow-kids

The only surprise was a Robovan? What did Elon expect? Rookie mistake. He needed to also introduce the...

  • RoboHeli
  • RoboPlane
  • RoboRidingMower
  • RoboCycle
  • RoboEDM
  • RoboRobo
  • Etc
