Analysts criticise lack of detail about the ‘robotaxi’ showcased by CEO Elon Musk

Tesla shares fell nearly 9% on Friday, wiping about $60bn (£45bn) from the company’s value, after the long-awaited unveiling of its so-called robotaxi failed to excite investors.

Shares in the electric carmaker tumbled to $217 at market close following an event in Hollywood, where the chief executive, Elon Musk, revealed a much-hyped driverless vehicle. The stock price is down roughly 12% year-to-date.

However, analysts said the event was short on detail and also expressed disappointment over a lack of specifics about other Tesla projects. Musk has a history of making grand projections about upcoming products and failing to follow through in the timeframe he has set, or at all.

They could easily do it in a year by purchasing Waymo.

Isn't Waymo driverless like my RC car is driverless?

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

No, what makes you think that? I understand doubting Elon, but Waymo works great day in and out. The only bad incident I know of with them was when another vehicle with a person driving hit a pedestrian that threw the pedestrian under a Waymo, and they had to update the software to know what to do when a person spawns under the vehicle. Horrible, yes. But one of their cars wouldn't have hit the pedestrian to start.

Your RC car has level 4 autonomy?

[-] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Imagine drinking this much Kool-Aid.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Are you referring to the use of SAE classifications or the assertion that Waymos are level 4?

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but only if you believe the propaganda by the IEEE, the lobbying arm of the international electronics and electrical engineer cartels.

In the meantime, keep buying cybertrucks.
