So does he now want people working from home or not?
He’s very inconsistent.
Oh, don’t mistake. They’ll still have to go into an office, they’ll just be driving the cars remotely, most likely.
So can I also start remote driving my car?
Should be totally shut down until self diving is perfected. Shouldn’t even be allowed the chance to lie about it.
Also they should get taxed into the ground. Like $5,000 Bill for signing a new customer up, and $60k every time the service is used. Daddy Warbucks can afford it and he be fixing the economy.
“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

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
Yeah, but you’re ignoring one thing. I don’t have to sit awkwardly hoping the driver doesn’t talk to me. The risk/reward here might be screwed but I live dangerously.
Plus I welcome the opportunity to sue/fuck-over elon.
People who don’t drive themselves will be responsible for the UI of all this.
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.
I just love we have this nice simple solution to fix traffic congestion and its been around for so long. It even hurts when people say “im forced to take public transit” like really? Owning a car is not a right. I personally do not get the hate for public transportation.
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?
With how popular trucking sims are… I don’t think you’re entirely off the mark
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.
We already knew this was coming.
And to quote the comic:
“Crowdsourced steering” doesn’t sound quite as appealing as “self driving.”
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
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?
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!
I’m happy that the number of blow-jobs-while-working will increase for this sector
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!
