My driver does exactly that.
With a 25 years old Ford Fiesta that is probably worth less than 500 bucks. For less then the price of a Tesla I will be driven around for the rest of my life, do something good for that boy who has 4 children and no work and he is always just a phone call away… and not like a driverless car, it is legal everywhere…
Waymo only does cities AFAIK (no interstates/highways), and much slower that.
Otherwise “it’s the same, FSD”.
the ultimate idea is that there are less cars in the world as the people who only need one sometimes can just hop on a ride. Wait, they can also do that today, it’s called Uber. 
We’ll see if this will propagate as much as Musk would probably love to.
The problems of car hopping, currently, are the price and the focus of humanity to caliber our means to the worst case scenario. If I need to move stuff once a year, I’ll buy a pickup even if I’m only commuting within town the rest of the year.
Robotaxis may solve that if they’re easy and cheap enough to access while not saturating the roads. We’ll see how it pans out. I personally like to drive my manual car so am biased against self driving vehicles (unless they’re called busses, trains, trams or ferries).
I see
I didn’t know that FSD is limited to where the car is trained. Ideally the car should be able to work everywhere in the same country . Isn’t it ?
They only do geofenced area but they’re rolling things out fairly aggressively (I think growth is exponential)
I don’t think they need a lot of work to roll out in a given city, but they also need all the infra/workforce for cleaning/storing cars.
You’re my man! When I bought my car in Dec '19 I specifically asked for it to be manual. The person at the dealer was puzzled, asked why would I want that if automatic is standard, I said “because this is likely the last real car I will drive”.
The use case of replacing drivers with robots is good for robotaxi provider but will affect employment of people employed in this industry. I really hope the safety is not compromised. If a group of robots gets hacked and go rouge, they would be like killing machines on streets.
I personally think this tech is more useful in commercial freight where there is a driver shortage & it’s a job not lot of people want
Manual, humble motorization, good road holding. It’s always fun to drive a Citroën C1 on a mountain road on a snowy day and to stop to help the heavy BMW drivers stuck in the middle of the road. 
There are plenty of things automation can do but real skills used regularly also take you mighty far.
I don’t have words left anymore to comment any of the stuff happening 
I still got 10k to spend from the ZGLD sale, not sure if now or waiting for some eff up and subsequent TACO.
Can’t say I would like either one to be my friend as both seem like (elaborate) crooks to me.
That said, everything that Trump touches and that he doesn’t like wilts under his hard red orange burning tan.
I wonder if Elon can escape … maybe fly to the hard red orange burning sun on Mars?
My money is on the president.
VT doing well these days, but not for us (CHF) 
In USD:
The drop in USD value is basically a 10% tax on everything imported into the US now. On top of any (on/off) orange taxes. But strangely they can still not see much of inflation due to these things according to the FED, which either means this is all delayed and will come soon, or that actually other countries eat these losses (as promoted by daddy himself).
Well it’s funny but I think it’s very serious
Senator who voted against the bill will not be running again for re-election
Elon might be deported
New NYC Mayor should be deported
Fed Gov should be gone
Netanyahu case should be dropped or sanctions
All of these are jokes in isolation. But when all of this happens together - we are looking at Autocracy.
I am worried about my investments to be honest as world‘s largest market seem to have become a one man show
It’s not possible for any businessman in the world to win against the power of government , specially US government
The saddest fact is that those two monkeys in a circus, that don’t know how to adult, have the power to impact lives (more or less directly) of 100s of millions of people.
It’s 100% this. It inevitable in my opinion. Everything imported will get more expensive.
For example Switzerland avoided all the recent euro zone inflation (post covid and Ukraine), in one part due to the apreciation of the CHF that happened simultaneously.
I guess the inflation could be balanced out by recession.
Most likely suppliers have not raised prices yet because they didn’t know what will happen in certainty. We cannot blame them as tariffs change on daily basis
I think prices will raise slowly to compensate 10% tariffs. But this might take some time.
Why should there be recession?
Unemployment isn’t high. Tariffs won’t cause job loss because 10% is not enough.
