So, wait, wait… If I’m a blue check, and I post under other blue checks posts, and they post under my post… Holy shit, let’s turn the handle on that money machine, boys!
You can never trust a junkie.
Elon’s mommy said to stop being so keta-mean to him.
Now that’s meta-mean! 
Tonight is the night all you doubters turn into believers! Big promises coming!

Should be interesting, considering that the current state of Full Self-Driving (according to one testing organization quoted in the article) required the driver to take control on average about every 13 miles. Were it not for the driver overriding FSD, according to one analyst the technology on average would produce three accidents every hour.
The only way driverless taxis could possibly work with this kind of tech is on a very specific, very limited set of routes so carefully mapped out that the cars would, in effect, be on virtual tracks, and even then they’d probably keep getting in trouble. And even if it worked flawlessly, Elmo is going to have a hell of time with regulatory authorities.
I’m all for driverless cars and technological advances, but Elmo has been such a hopeless optimist that it’s a wonder anyone ever listens to him any more.
If history is anything to go by, he’s going to make most of those problems much, much worse by running his big fat mouth.
Dude, this time will be different. [lines up to kick football]
I’m sure Robotaxi will be a massive success.
You misspelled “cockeyed” (apologies to Nellie Forbush).
complete with golden shoes – I wonder what brand those are
Ok that was some cool shit, whatever that was. There should be more stuff like that on TV and in media in general.
That was the classic film Total Recall!
We recently got a self-driving floor scrubber at my work. It can only follow pre-programmed routes that start and end from one specific part of the store, and it STILL needs help if a customer stands in the same spot for too long or a product display is six inches off from where it expects it to be even if that display isn’t in the way and it should be able to easily go around it.
I doubt we’re going to see autonomous vehicles operating under road conditions any time soon.
I’m waiting for the driverless taxi on Mars. It’s gonna be epic.
Probably be available next year.
This was supposed to start 11 minutes ago, instead I’m getting visuals that would be great if I were high.
Or on ketamine.
Starting 53 minutes late. About right.
That’s a cool-looking car. Robocar? I guess a taxi going on the simulated streets of the Warner Bros lot. The “cybercab”.
He’s claiming that they’ll have a fully (really fully) autonomous vehicle, each for under $30,000, that functions as a cybercab (no steering wheel).
“Before 2027.”
But he’s moved past the Cybercab, and past the Robovan, and showing his vision for a robot (“Optimus”) that will both your servant and your friend. “Your buddy.”
Cue the dancing robots. No, really. Robots, dancing The Robot.
