I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I love how shiny and jangly the keys are!
they just keep moving
Amazing aesthetic sense.
I LOVE THE FUTURE. I LOVE DEATH. DEATH IS THE FUTURE

DEATH IS THE FUTURE
Technically, objectively true
It's not even really gold, it's more of a bronze. I'm indifferent to the look of them(not that it's really relevant when you have unsupervised DriveGPT cars on the road).
Though tbf if they were shiny gold they'd look worse.
Does this Delamain dispose of bodies?
this is like ipod hype. for those old enough, did ipod hype feel like this?
No, but the iPhone hype did!
Nah, iPod hype kinda made sense.
This is more like Zune hype
the zune was actually decent
Yeah but it wasn't groundbreaking IMO
not old enough
of course you do, you're 12
The next day:
VIDEO- HOUSTON ROBO TAXI PLOWS THROUGH A CROWD OF KINDERGARTERS TO CRASH INTO A FUEL TANKER TRUCK
Witnesses on the scene describe it was making a sound that could only be described as "maniacal laughter"
Elon's response... poop-emoji happens
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight your wheels can get. Thanks for the motivation.
so, like, its gotta be pretty easy to abuse these for insurance fraud right?
The problem here is that it records everything. That could make insurance fraud harder than with a conventional vehicle. However, these ones do have way less sensors than other robotaxis because this is a Tesla and therefore very stupid. From what i could find out with a quick search, it has one internal and one external microphone and 9 cameras (2 at the front turn signals, 2 at the b column, 2 above the windshield, one in the front bumper, one for the interior and just one facing rearwards). No radar, no lidar, no microwave or ultrasound sensors.
The Musk cultists point out how cyberpunk this is, but in any cyberpunk universe this is obviously the shit option only used by low level NPCs.
I understand. It is a machine with sensors and a complex algorithm that drive it and recording devices around it.
It is fallible and there probably are ways to exploit this fallibility despite the fact you are being recording. Exploits in ways that leave the thing legally liable. I'm thinking something that you might say, "Well, yeah, I just figured the thing would stop/turn/obey a traffic law like a human being would but instead it hit me/my car," type shit.
It looks like a shitty hotwheels
I do like that Elon was successfully bullied out of the ugly ass angular design.
But weren't the Teslas found to be much less safe than the other self driving cars? Opting not to use the rooftop LIDAR to rely solely on cameras is removing a safety feature.

There is probably a reason why wheel don't usually look like this?
Actually flat looking rims are better for aerodynamics and fuel/battery efficiency, the only reason we don't do this more is purely for aesthetic reasons.

How about brake cooling? Just asking, I'm not knowledgeable
Brake ducts, which I think are tubing systems that go from the front to the brakes. Also vents, you can notice vents in the pictures that are close to the wheel, designed to not trap air.

Space to let the brakes cool (though I think electric cars do a considerable amount of engine braking). Also, thicker tires are squishier and give a more comfortable ride.
I kinda dig the aesthetic... in my Cyberpunk 2077 game.
I absolutely loathe everything they stand for, but aesthetically I kinda don't hate it. Awful colour and the wheels are ugly but the overall shape is pretty slick. But then I'm a sucker for a coupe. I'd probably drive it if it was made by BYD, GWM or XPeng.
I’m in the same boat unfortunately, coupes are my weakness.
I like little vehicles, they tickle some part of my brain.
Waitt until you have giant rims on your car before you judge. I always thought giant rims looked ridiculous until the brief period I was driving around on 21"s.
I mean they still definitely looked ridiculous and I did switch down to 19"s pretty quick but there was some dumb childlike magic in walking to see over sized wheels on my car. I was in love with the giant rims until I saw the bill to replace the tires, immediate downsize
So these "unsupervised" vehicles are still supervised remotely, right? Or is this actually fully autonomous?
fully
That word means whatever tech bros like Elon want it to mean.
After I read the first paragraph, I thought they were gonna be opposed to it.
These stupid things are all over NW Houston too, but they're all being driven by what I assume are Tesla employees. Haven't seen one without a driver yet.
