TLDR: Tesla will have as many robotaxis as Waymo in the year 2111, if the current growth rate holds (and if Waymo doesn’t add a single additional vehicle). So… I’m guessing the Tesla stock price will skyrocket.

    I don’t blame them for keeping the numbers low.

    It’ll probably take a few decades to resolve all the kinks. And, meanwhile, less people will die as a result.

      Yes, it’s called human in the loop and has been an industry term for years in manufacturing.

      As of last check they have 60 or so people monitoring over 5k cars.

      So yes, mostly unsupervised with at worst less than 1% of the fleet being given commands at any given time.

        Musky said they were only one year away from full self driving back in 2016, and again in 2017, and 2018, and 2019, and 2020, and 2021, and 2022, and 2023, and 2024, and 2025

        And he’s a big brained smarty boy, so i’m sure they’ll get there any day now
