I don’t think headlines are casually chosen.
Yes, the article is about self-driving cars. But I think the headline is telling us that Elon Musk wants to sell you a dangerous car that will burn down your house. It will spark a firestorm while you are sleeping. Because Trump hatred determines all media narratives.
Absolutely, at least for the HBM (Has Been Media). And my Tagline is still accurate.
Re: Post #6 - You nailed it.
If it is an EV; definitely not. I’m not sure about having self-driving in a conventional vehicle as electronic failures can happen just like human failures. Maybe self-driving would be somewhat acceptable if you’ve reached the point in life where your driver’s license has been pulled.
In all the obfuscation, muddied water and outright prevarication, the main point is missed.
Self driving cars may be offered to the publc but the primary market is Cyber cab. The cyber cab is a threat of sea change proportions. It is ready to go, now.
You tell Siri to bring up cyber cab, you give the address of the destination and perhaps where you are. The driverless cab arrives and deposits you at the destination. you get out and leave....... that’s it. Your phone and the cab are smart enough to provide a bill for services that is paid by the phone. You do nothing but place th3e order and then ride.
A very interesting thing happened last week. Serious negotiations for Cyber cab service in Riyadh took place. Yes, women can drive but for many reasons may not. They are not allowed to drive with anyone but a spouse or close relative. The cyber cab solves that delimma.
I expect Riyadh to be a successful cybercab test market
