I’m so sure that this will happen…

    Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime before you even get to drive it.

        “we planned for this edge case, and have programmed the vehicle to quickly leave the scene of any accident where a driver is not present. by accepting delivery (by purchasing a vehicle) you accept that all vehicles are sold as-is. tesla insurance customers get half-off repair claim deductibles for the first 7 days.”

    Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

    Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?

    Infinite is valid all things considered.

      Run over Reward
      CEO - 100000 points

      Edit: updated into a table to clarify that I meant MINUS 100000 points, Life of one CEO is much more important to (f)Elon than lifes of us peasants.

          Yup, initially the first comment was not in a table but was a list in format “[run over]-[revard]”… Stupid me, assumed these were penalty points.

          Then you changed it to the table format, I realised my mistake… And then had to learn how to put tablets to Lemmy comments (I didn’t know we could do that!)

            lol, glad I clarified it. I was going to leave it vague and then remembered tables.

            Also, yes. Markdown is the shit and I’m glad Lemmy didn’t try to reinvent the wheel!

    I don’t want to be caught dead driving one of those fucking nazimobiles. I would not take one even if it were free.
