How realistic is Elon's prediction to put 1M robo-taxis on the road in 2020 as an autonomous ride hailing network? 🤖🚕
I find it super far-fetched as I don't think he is even thinking about how the rest of the system would integrate and work. I mean it took Uber around 5-6 years to become as reliable as it is now and I am not talking about the frontend and the app challenge but I am talking about the backend, the scalability and the reliability aspect. Also, where is the regulation aspect with that? I always thought like the fully autonomous self driving tech is at least 5 years away and regulation is more or less 10 years away but it seems like that the gap is closing quiet fast. How does it affects Uber, Lyft, Waymo etc? Video: https://youtu.be/YiWbdZ8ItRs

Are there even one million Teslas in the world? Even if Tesla did have the magical tech they claim they have, they aren’t making an additional one million cars this year
I think he meant a total of 1M Teslas since he started manufacturing.
elon must have gotten into grimes’s meth stash
I don’t see them manufacturing that many Tesla’s with their current setup. So no way.
Elon smoking some good shit to come up with this bullshit
420.
Considering that the United States’ system of transcontinental interstates basically hasn’t changed in configuration since they were built in the 1940s... I’d just like to raise my hand once more to say *please fix the roads we already have because they’re becoming unusable.*
Taxi part isn't the unrealistic one. The unrealistic is Tesla having that good an AV system by 2020.
Especially since Tesla is dead last in AV dev
DOT approval and how regulations pan out could affect this dramatically. I also think they’re between mildly and moderately over confident in the no lidar approach this early on in the game.
