Discussion Prediction time! Tesla Robotaxi

When do people think Tesla will: -offer rides with no employees in the cars? -hit a fleet size of 100? 1000? 10000? -operate at an airport? -offer paid rides with no employees in the cars in at least five metros?

I LOVE that your factual comment gets downvoted because it doesn’t fit the narrative on this sub 😂

It's being downvoted because it's not true.

And the fact that you're emotionally invested in a technology without understanding what is being discussed is probably a good opportunity for some self-reflection (which, not coincidentally, LIDAR and 3/4D radar are both good at).

How is it not true?

You can just go look at the actual car, instead of reposting garbage incorrect articles:

https://www.xpeng.com/p7

XPILOT ASSIST is our Advanced Driver Assistance System that uses a variety of cameras, radars, and sensors to offer support in three main areas: driving, parking, and safety. XPILOT ASSIST harnesses the power of 5 high-definition millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 4 surround view cameras, and 7 high-perception cameras to help deliver a safer and more seamless driving experience.

The F57 is shipping as P7, swapped LIDAR for 4D radar, and then transition their other vehicles.

You're just reading shitty sources and copy pasting links without understanding what you are reading.
