Really wish they had shared more details. It was so high-level that we didn't really learn anything substantive.

  They had a working car. Unlike most other reveals
  • spankalee 2y ago
    But we already know they can make a car.
    • eftychis 2y ago
      The whole point was to please future shareholders.
      • elkos 2y ago
        Maybe the product isn't the car but the stock.
    • nick111631 2y ago
      They have a pretty decent robot thing going on.
      • mplewis 2y ago
        It's 2024 and the Optimus can almost do some of the things Asimo could in 2000.
    • sidcool 2y ago
      A new car look without steering wheel and pedals. A working robovan. I don't think people understand the complexity of creating a hardware prototype of anything. This can't be ChatGPTed
      • porphyra 2y ago
        Yeah and making 50 new cars that drive around is a lot harder than making a one-off prototype.
        • mplewis 2y ago
          Wow, great! They put motors and wheels on a chassis with a screen and hardcoded them to drive in a loop. So impressive.
          • porphyra 2y ago
            The demo is open to the eventgoers and lets you choose your destination. It's quite polished and a lot more advanced than "hardcoding to drive in a loop".
            • jjulius 2y ago
              That's a pretty generous way to describe a ~20-acre geofenced, low-speed ride using a pre-mapped area in which they likely tested this out quite a bit prior to the event.

              [dead]
            • throwaway48476 2y ago
              Why not demo it for the livestream then?
            • ihumanable 2y ago
              I saw a video from people in the car. The screen allowed them to pick between 2 different destinations. It’s not like they could just punch in any old address.
      • lern_too_spel 2y ago
        They've shown working shells of cars at every single reveal of their past cars without the interior filled in. We know they can do that. What's in question is whether they can make a driverless taxi.

  Hmm it's almost like there might not be anything of substance to share...
