*** my own questions here:

1. How soon will a Tesla robotaxi slam into the back of an emergency vehicle?

2. How many people will get run over by a robotaxi before they withdraw it from the market?

3. How many low paid third world "drivers" will be required to make this "driverless" system work?

4. Will these robotaxis be participating in future Nazi parades?

@ai6yr

Will add...

5. Will they be weaponized for surveillance and or assaults as per @pluralistic scifi

Re #5
We can be assured that there will be multiple internal cameras and microphones along with exterior cams and all their data will be saved despite claims to the contrary

@Asbestos @ai6yr @pluralistic wasn't' there a piece in Wired with Tesla staff using the internal cameras to spy on frolicking folks.

@koen_hufkens @Asbestos @ai6yr @pluralistic Well, there's an article on the cameras being access by hackers :

And an article from Reuters about employees sharing "sensitive" images from customer cars ..

Given what now must be the full douchebro vibe going on there, I would expect no less.
