299: Tesla We Robot: Robotaxi, Robovan y Tesla Bot ¡el Futuro Está Aquí!
#Robovan
Automotive industry expert Sandy Munro #SandyMunro speaks highly of last week's #Tesla 10/10 event demo / news: #Cybercab #robotaxi and #Robovan reveal, #Optimus robot progress and further replacement of humans in automotive manufacturing (3D: dirty, dangerous, drudgery):
Tesla’s Vision for an Autonomous Future - We Robot Event Recap
Sandy was invited to Tesla's We Robot event on 10/10, where they unveiled the CyberCab and RoboVan, and provided updates on Optimus. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WkezrTpVWZw
Have you seen that Tesla "Robovan" design?
It belongs in a Mel Brooks spoof of science fiction movies — the Spaceballs aesthetic applied to sci-fi which isn't Star Wars.

I'm certainly not surprised: Elon Musk Invented A Worse City Bus

"Elon Musk is notoriously opposed to public transit, even going so far as admitting that his whole “Hyperloop” project was just a way to divert public money away from high-speed rail projects. It’s quite clear that by making electric city buses look flashy and dystopian retro-futuristic chic, he hopes to pull money away from public transit investment in cities all over the world. The worse he can make public transit [look no farther than the Las Vegas Tesla tunnels for his genius vision] the more appealing Tesla’s road cars become."

Last night Elon Musk presented his latest concept the world was waiting for:
➡️ The Tesla Toaster ⬅️
S&P 500 boosts for 5th week amid flat inflation & JPMorgan's earnings surprise. Tesla slips with vague self-driving taxi launch.
Are these gains sustainable given looming global tensions? #StockMarket #Investing #Robotaxi #Robovan
Imagining trying to get in/out of a Robovan in a wheelchair tells you all you need to know about Elon Musk's vision of the future
4) Even the gullwing/bat/whatever doors are going to be a challenge to bring to production. The falconwing doors on the Model X caused all sorts of problems and still don't work well (trust me, I own one!) There are likely other challenging technologies in the #Cybercab and #Robovan that will prove difficult to put into production and bring to market "by 2026”.

2) All of this is predicated on the capabilities of unsupervised "full self driving”, which has been promised and not delivered by #Tesla for over a decade. It doesn't matter when the company can put the #Cybercab and #Robovan into production; the gating factor is having "anytime/anywhere" self-driving working using only cameras. And this has not been proven to be possible. 90% unsupervised sure, but not 100%. Will this ever work?

Let's set aside our feelings about #Elon and #Tesla for a moment and consider some of the oddities of the #Cybercab and #Robovan…
1) "You'll be able to buy one” - This is a really weird business model, potentially shifting liability and cost to "independent owners" similarly to Uber and GrubHub. Musk tells us about being a "shepherd" to a “flock" of Cybercabs rather than being an Uber driver. This is a very on-point admission for him - and we must consider the impact of this shift.
