That's just the tip of the iceberg...

1. Fully autonomous Tesla Robotaxis will be ubiquitous in urban areas all across the developed world within a decade, and Tesla will be pumping them out continuously at a rate of 1 every five seconds (probably even faster) within the next few years. FYI Tesla will literally be printing money on these things once they go fully driverless, the operational profit margin is going to be comically absurd.

2. Tesla is literally -- yes, literally -- the *only* company in the entire world right now that is well-positioned to mass-produce vehicles like this on a scale large enough to actually assemble fleets that are able to service major metropolitan areas without creating unacceptably long wait times. It will take any other company that wants to compete with Tesla in this arena hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tech/infrastructure investment and several years of dedicated hard work just to catch up to where they are now, and that's at a bare minimum. How many companies in existence are both willing and capable of pulling that feat off? (And is Waymo one of them? If your answer to that question is "Yes," then please go ahead and show your work supporting that assertion tyia.)

3. Until they are capable of assembling a fleet of FSD vehicles which can service an entire metro areas without inducing unacceptable wait times or otherwise having to rely on existing ride-hailing platforms like Uber, Lyft, etc., no other FSD car company will really be able to set their own price point for rides -- and that's because existing ride-hailing apps that use (and will continue to use) human drivers will NEVER allow FSD services on their platforms to significantly undercut the prices they charge for human drivers, for obvious reasons. By necessity, this means that no other company in the world is going to be positioned to compete with Tesla on ride pricing for the foreseeable future (and if you disagree with that assessment, then please go ahead and explain why Waymo -- which is only available via Uber for precisely this reason -- has not yet lowered its prices in Austin to match Robotaxi's pricing).

3. Notwithstanding these three aforementioned points, an army of Brilliant XO Jewish Pumos still continue to insist that Elon Musk is a midwit retard, Tesla is a cooked company with no future, and TSLA shares will start plummeting back down to zero any day now ("just wait two more weeks") because... *checks notes* "Cybertruck sales are down!!!"

i'm sympathetic to AI-driven vehicles serving the Common Good, but i'm very wary of them for this reason. driving is a big part of how americans retain their autonomy and personal independence in a world that keeps shrinking and taking these things away from them

Americans can regain their autonomy that has been lost but driving has nothing to do with it.

"Who the hell would ever want to use a computer to buy clothes on a World Wide Web internet page? I mean, shit, you can't even try them on first! And also, who wants to spend all of that time trying to click around on a website just to figure out all of this weird 'techy' nerd stuff in the first place? It's all so confusing, nobody normal actually uses a computer for that. Sure, waste your money buying more of that 'Amazon' stock or whatever the hell it's called -- but I'm pretty sure I'll still be purchasing my jeans from a little thing called 'a store' for the rest of my life, haw haw!" sneered the equally-retarded Boomer version of you in 2002 (very same guy who now buys >90% of his clothes online without thinking twice about it, thanks to the handy little pocket computer that he carries around constantly and happily spends hours using to do a million different things every single day).

Wow, great point -- sounds like autonomous cars are ackkkkkkkkkshually insane deathtraps (way worse than human drivers on average) which will never really catch on as a result. In fact, we'll probably be looking back on this "FSD Robotaxi" craze thing in a decade as just another dumb fad.

Agreed?

How do Uber/lyft/taxi accidents compare to the average driver?

LMAO

State your IQ before I engage with you further about whether Uber/Lyft drivers (a group in which every single member is by strict definition literally too retarded to secure a real job in 2025) is "safer" than "the average driver" (a group that incorporates a substantial % of people who are intelligent enough to secure real jobs in 2025).
