Elon Musk Promises Full Self-Driving “Next Year” for the Ninth Year in a Row
- rvz 5y agoIt has been 'admitted' for this year - since 2014. So the Robotaxis are 'finally' coming for 2022 then? So I am expecting them to be operational on Level 5, such that they can drive themselves with no human assistance? This time for sure? I'll be waiting for the first Level 5 robotaxis to come this year, and surely but definitely not going to be disappointed for the ninth time right? /s
- torstenvl 5y agoMusk has a habit of overpromising on timeline. SpaceX didn't launch on time either. But it still revolutionized the space industry. X.com didn't transform banking in the mid-90s either. But it evolved into PayPal they remain a dominant online payments player. If history is any guide, I wouldn't bet against Musk achieving his goals... eventually.

- stathibus 5y agoHe's not the only one. The autonomous car industry is on a swift downturn. Very few startups making real progress right now.
