We, Robot, webcast, Tesla, 10 October 2024.
Elon Musk Reveals 2 New Revolutionary Cars!, Farzad! He did a (apparently) full cut of the Elon Musk remarks, with all the pauses & crowd stuff cut out. Very efficient! if you want a synopsis of what Musk said, in his own words; in 13 minutes. Including: "we'll overspec the computer—our HW5 computer—used in the Cybercab... because there is an opportunity to potentially have a massive amount of distributed inference compute" like Amazon Web Services; good business return on the computer use even when the Cybercab is not driving. ...
a 25-minute video review by Top Gear: FIRST RIDE: Tesla Robotaxi – Our Driverless Future Has Arrived! clarifying that "these are prototypes; not the finished thing". Seats are "super flat, and super loungy. Very comfortable and very reclined." Two-seater: statistic: 90% of all ride-sharing rides are just 1 or 2 people. Robovan look, including a quick interview with Franz, the designer. Contact with the Optimus robot (price ~25-30k$), weird "interview" with Optimus. "has come a long way since we last saw that Optimus." Guest appearance by Marques Brownlee in the middle of the video. "Tech demos are hard, and I've seen a lot failed tech demos over the years. And if you told me that a company in 2024 would roll out, would have robots walking around serving drinks, would have a drone show, and would have dozens of self-driving cars all doing laps, and stopping, and not crashing, and there would be no incidents. I'd be very impressed." And, in a second drive in a Cybercab: "I'm gonna have a beer. Because, I'm not driving."
Elon Musk unveils Cybercab at Tesla robotaxi event, BBC summary + interview with analyst Seth Goldstein, MorningStar. Stock did a single-day decline; Goldstein thinks bigger news might be that Tesla is planning to do "unsupervised full self-driving in Texas & California" beginning in 2025.
Tesla Unveils CYBERCAB & RoboVAN!, Tailosive EV. "There were Robots dancing, serving drinks, and handing out snacks." "[Applause to Franz for gorgeous design. No side-view mirrors, very aerodynamic, a two-seater, and a ton of storage in the back.]" "The event was light on specs, ... but I'm okay with that." ... since Tesla's numbers provided at unveilings never seem to work out too well for them." Tesla is going to have Robotaxis in the fleet owned by Tesla, but anyone is going to be able to buy one (or a few) and supervise your personal fleet of automated virtual-Uber cars out working for you.
