Yeah, right. Why do they only have a handful of these cars in each city, when supposedly wait times are super high for them? Why don't they just put more of these in service, if they're just Teslas? I suspect the answer is because they're being remotely monitored and operated 24/7, and they don't have the staff to tend to them. But only Tesla knows, and they've spent the last few years absolutely destroying their reputation. They lie constantly, they show flagrant disregard for the lives of their customers, and I trust nothing that they say. EDIT: lol, looks like I was exactly right.

Well, yes, exactly. They’re doing a cautious roll out. If they didn’t you’d be canning them, and you’re canning them anyway. It feels awfully like you don’t want them trying to roll out new tech at all. Funny take for someone on hacker news to have.

  That’s hilarious. They’re not doing a cautious rollout. Tesla has repeatedly shown nothing but contempt for their customers and their safety. And they lie constantly, about everything. No, they’re doing a fake rollout. They painted themselves into a corner with their technical approach, and this fake “unsupervised” robotaxi thing is just the latest way to prop up the stock price and stall while they try and figure out how to make this work. And no, I do NOT want Tesla to roll out “new tech”, since they have proven that they lack the seriousness and engineering rigor to do so safely. Fuck Tesla, and fuck the regulators who let them drive their shitty cars on public roads. Hope that clears it up for you.
