    This vehicle will reportedly be purpose-built to function solely as a self-driving cab. As such, it will not contain an accelerator, brake pedals or a steering wheel, and will be hailed via a special Tesla app.

    Taking “move fast and break things” literally. Can the cars actually self-drive outside of a perfect laboratory environment? I guess we’ll find out because Elon Musk is the type of guy who tests in production.

      Waymo(google) is already doing a full self driving taxi in San Francisco.

      Edit: Well not quite full there is a support team of real humans that remote controls the cars when they get stuck because the car can’t figure out a safe enough next move - mostly in parking lots.

      As a fun bonus there was a small bug, the cars are programmed to give a honk when they see other cars driving towards them from the front or something and there’s a parking lot where they all go during low activity times…but the waymo cars were just constantly honking at each other while trying to park. - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yvDuUCxvkO0

      How long between when he announced the cyber truck and when it was actually available? And what about all the stuff he announced that still doesn’t exist? Hyper loop, humanoid robots?
