Musk has been promising autonomous vehicles for about a decade now. Good luck on seeing the Robotaxis roll out by 2027.
I will say that the robots like Optimus will be pretty transformative, however, in the aging and disability field given the workforce shortages. Even at the higher end of the cost spectrum, those robots can do what direct support workers do at a lower cost. |

As a person who has been in IT for 20 years.
You think shit gets bad when your ATM card doesn't work? I can't even imagine entombing myself into this soulless thing. You're one GPS or AI **** up from the newest "worst ways to die". The thing that freaks me out the worst is how that ****ing thing knew to pull over. Interesting times.

If they are all fly by wire and only to be used for AI driving then yeah, it makes sense that they don't have pedals or steering wheel.
Face it, these are coming whether we all like it or not. I can see the good and bad. Fewer morons operating automobiles while looking at their phones is good. Of course, the first time one of these robo cars runs over a person or crashes there will be a public uproar. Doubt it will stop them, though.

Bagh! I much preferred the previously proposed business model where you could tell your self-driving Tesla to go to work as a robo-taxi all day while you were working.
