Elon's $1T tranches are mostly based on market cap, right? Switching from just a carmaker to a "physical AI" company could be all he needs to convince the stock market to ignore Tesla's declining profits and raise the market cap even higher.

- aunty_helen 8mo agoThe market for humanoid robots hasn’t been established like the market for $40,000 personal transport. Saying that, I wouldn’t be too surprised if robotaxi replaces 90% of taxis and Ubers in the next 5-7 years. But yea, stepping from sinking raft to the next…

- nebula8804 8mo agoWaymo said its robotaxi struck the child at six miles per hour, after braking “hard” from around 17 miles per hour. The young pedestrian “suddenly entered the roadway from behind a tall SUV, moving directly into our vehicle’s path,” the company said in its blog post. Waymo said its vehicle “immediately detected the individual as soon as they began to emerge from behind the stopped vehicle.” “Following contact, the pedestrian stood up immediately, walked to the sidewalk, and we called 911. The vehicle remained stopped, moved to the side of the road, and stayed there until law enforcement cleared the vehicle to leave the scene,” Waymo wrote in the post. If a human were driving that child could be in much worse shape. You are being disingenuous by leaving out context.
- dmbche 8mo agoYou sure are repeating PR from Waymo. Humans can move further away from parked cars when noticing a chance of hitting a child. This waymo did not, seemingly It is not evident to me that a human driver would have hit the child, and hit hit harder than Waymo did. But we are absolutely certain that Waymo hit a child.
