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.
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.”
