> Tesla are producing cyber cabs now which are 10th the price of Waymo's and can drive autonomously anywhere in the world.

My understanding is that cyber cabs still need safety drivers to operate, is that not the case?



They have no steering wheel or pedals so no


Robotaxis in Austin are in the process of removing in car safety monitors, there is a chance you would get one today


They are just moving the safety monitor in a car that drives behind you.

It would be funny, but tbh it's just sad.

Everything for the stock pump


tesla robotaxi crash rates are also currently (as in, with safety drivers) 4x higher than humans so that's not very promising


Yes, but they are useless, they can't steer, hence why they have more accidents than humans per driven miles.
