“Remotely control”, or “drive” if you will.
And without survival instinct or adrenaline to distract during decisions, great!
Hey more jobs for taxi drivers and safer to do from the comfort of your home. Just like a drone pilot!
Who would have thought that Taxi drivers one day would be able to work from home?
Lots of taxi drivers are already reckless. Imagine if they can drive remotely!
Can’t wait for the first 8 year old to be on trial for manslaughter because his dad had to go to the bathroom but didn’t want to lose his fare.
No, it’s not. Many companies are doing this monitoring at 10:1 ratios. It hurts my brain that so many people don’t understand what a massive industry changing number that is. Even at early maturity these systems can reduce workforce by 90%.
Which is a good thing right?
The remaining problem being not enough political pressure to get universal basic income going.
Y’all want to laugh but you lack the larger picture.
These folks will be on demand if a car gets stuck or lost. You’ll have 1 person to 10 cabs and that number will go up as they collect data and iterate.
Your hated over this dude has really blinded many of you. You can be pissed but this is going to mostly replace human cab drivers in 15 years.
AI isn’t going to immediately replace anyone. It will reduce demand over decades.
Yeah, it’s kinda sad actually. It’s also nothing different to what Waymo etc are doing, but whatevs.
The cab drivers deserve it IMO. I’ve never seen a more shitty and less accountable role/job then them. They deserved Uber.
Yeah, what can go wrong.
In another thread we’re in a discussion about housing and you’re like it’s not that bad I was able to buy a house.
I’m starting to suspect you’re a tech bro and now it all makes sense why it’s not that bad.
It’s not about hating Elon, the dude with most punchable face ever, it’s about hating the fact that my safety is gonna be compromised by lazy fucks who can’t drive themselves and instead are letting the “AI” (aka a poor remote “cab driver” who’s “driving” a dozen other cars at the same time) drive the car for them.
You financially benefit from this shit no wonder you support it. Tech bros are selling out humanity.
!remindme 15 years
Was this silly clown any more correct about the future than any of the other Elon stans have been in the previous 15 years?
180,000 rides a week happen right now using this practice for Waymo right? They are just copying the practice. 0 cars are being driven by remotely people to and from places. It’s fear mongering. If a car gets stuck because it’s sensors believe something is in front of it, it will stay stopped and flag a handler to evaluate. The person will say your fine move forward or tell the vehicle to stay where it is until someone moves the shopping cart someone left behind it. Once moved, they’ll re-enable the car and it will go on its way.
If there is actually something wrong like someone rear ending it at a stop light, then they may put it into some liml mode, give it a parking lot close by to pull into while they watch, then turn it off to await someone to show up and assess damages.
I tend to think half of it is bots judging by the pattern of what gets said on the mirad of topics touching the companies he runs.
Then the way they rabidly pounce on anything like the water deluge system at starbase causing massive pollution that wasn’t true, then the court basically reaffirms everything SpaceX said happens and denys an injunction to stop it’s use and they will still forever hate it, is quite telling of their hatred or ignorance.
how many owners has the onion had now like all better known sites that were magazines they are all just skin suits that only use the name Recognition and nothing more.
i do love a car with no steering wheel what could go wrong.
To be fair, it’s really hard to tell what you were saying. It took a few re-reads to parse your comment into something that makes sense.
I feel like onions in general have lost a lot of flavor. I think it has to do with farming conditions and big agriculture businesses trying to eek out more profit. I should probably just start growing my own.
I know. The Onion used to be such a great news source. What a shame they’ve fallen in to this fake news trap.
