Tesla launched its “Robotaxi” service in Austin eight months ago. In that time, Elon Musk promised 500 cars in Austin, coverage for half the US population, fully unsupervised rides, and expansion to 8-10 cities, all by the end of 2025. None of it happened.
Today, the service has roughly 42 cars in Austin, availability below 20%, a crash rate 9 times worse than human drivers, and the “unsupervised” rides Musk hyped before earnings have vanished from the tracker.
Musk is a hype man and a con man. Nothing more. A stupid man’s idea of what a smart man looks and acts like.
The failed promises have not been surprising for a long time. What is surprising is how much money people still throw at the man.
Driverless cars are supposed to be better at not crashing, not worse. This one is on Tesla.
Not to mention that Google, to pick one example, has had driverless cars that had a much better accident rate than humans years back. This is something where the technology exists…it’s just Tesla not executing on it.
Elon is full of shit

I’m sure this is because he’s busy building all those affordable robots we will soon all have in our homes helping us.
Yeah probably breaking stuff and hurting people.
“I would totally love to fulfill my prior promises, but I’m so busy making new, larger promises.”
