“How was your day, honey ?”
“I killed thirty people in a pile-up on Hwy74 remotely. I’ll be a little late.”
Basically what the self driving food delivery robots do in Berkeley, then
They are pretty autonomous, but if they get stuck then someone in Colombia takes control
Just subreptitiously sell it as a video game, you won’t even have to pay the drivers. I don’t see what could go wrong with this plan.
So Crazy Taxi, right?
On the one hand, this means they may be serious about actually trying to make this work. On the other hand, it’ll almost certainly require a subscription to use the robotaxi in fully autonomous mode because that’ll be an ongoing liability for Tesla.
Ah yes, you know what’s better than a taxi driver? A taxi driver who relies on a camera with a limited field of vision, experiences input and video lag, and receives none of the tactile sensations that allow drivers to gauge road conditions.
also one that has no personal stake in the safety of their driving
This really just comes down to people in a certain income brackets are uncomfortable being in close contact with a working class person.
That’s why they don’t like trains, that’s why they don’t like taxis.
People who don’t drive themselves will be responsible for the UI of all this.
We already knew this was coming.
This, but it’s identifying the Muslim to send to the camps. And if you fail, they force you to take a selfie to appear in the captcha yourself
And to quote the comic:
“Crowdsourced steering” doesn’t sound quite as appealing as “self driving.”
How can I apply?
“CLASS D LICENSE!”
Waymo is doing the same. Mostly self-driving but when they get stuck a human at a help center takes the sticks. There are a lot of edge cases in the real world so it makes sense to just have the car programmed to be very conservative and let a human deal with it.
My concern is that some driving situations need to be resolved immediately. That handover could be an issue.

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?
I’m happy that the number of blow-jobs-while-working will increase for this sector
Nah, they’ll still have to come into the office 3-4 days a week for “collaboration” and “cross-team building”. But they can do their drone whatsyhootzit from their cramped cubicles!
Lots of taxi drivers are already reckless. Imagine if they can drive remotely!
They’ll be driving multiple cars at the same time, while drunk.
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.
Just like a drone pilot!
Why must you drone on???
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.
For the cab industry yes. Fuck everyone of them. Zero accountability.
Jebus Christ, it was a joke.
“Remotely control”, or “drive” if you will.
Only with worse vision, worse reflexes and probably worse pay
Worse pay and worse working conditions is the killer app of “tech” these days.
And without survival instinct or adrenaline to distract during decisions, great!
This is what’s known as a pro gamer move.
Bonus points if you land a jump.
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.
I know. The Onion used to be such a great news source. What a shame they’ve fallen in to this fake news trap.
its almost like this whole sub is based off something that is shit and lame now like its supposed to be funny or something. so becoming a parody of itself.
This isn’t the onion nor parody.
i never said that. i said that the onion is not what it once was .
How is that relevant to the thread? This sub is “not the onion”. It means news that sounds made up. Why do you start talking about the Onion itself? Or do you not understand the sub?
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.
you do know there is more then one kind of onion maybe just try different onions.
Some people experience permanent loss of smell and taste from COVID.
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.
its simple the onion is shit now and they are owned by totally different people now so basing something of the onion does not mean the same thing anymore.
And even that we all lost too many braincells.
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.
!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?
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.
👌👍
You’ve invented such a fantastic story for me.
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.
The Fraternal Order of Police would like a word.
