RT @signulll: what a ridiculous moment this is. this image might be in textbooks at some point. “tesla launches robotaxi” doesn’t even begin to do any justice in any meaningful way. kinda just the beginning of post driving civilization. second only to space because it basically rewrites daily life on earth, commuting, cities, car ownership, jobs, time, autonomy. the ripple effects are fucking civilizational.

RT @Teslarati: 🚨 Dan Ives of Wedbush has released a new note after riding in Tesla Robotaxis today in Austin: "This afternoon we attended Tesla's Robotaxi launch in Austin, TX and got the opportunity to take multiple rides in a Robotaxi. There was a Tesla Operator sitting in the front passenger seat of the Robotaxi, but they were not permitted to comment on anything nor did they influence the car in any way. Going into it, we expected to be impressed but walking away from it, all there is to say is that this is the future. We took two approximately 15 minute rides around Austin and the key takeaways are that it was a comfortable, safe, and personalized experience. The ride itself was completely smooth, and it was indistinguishable that the car was driverless as there was never a moment in the vehicle where we felt as if it did something irrational. The interior features two touchscreen panels: one in the front and one in the back row above the AC vent.
