Robotaxi! It's like a regular cab, but less safe.

Don't worry, there's even still a stranger sitting up front. That's because it's less safe.

Anyway, Tesla stock is trading up with 5 times the market cap of Uber and maybe 20 times the market cap of the Ford Motor Company, so mission accomplished.

which is picking up passengers in the center of a busy 4-lane road

I'd just cancel the ride if it wouldn't come to me. I'm not walking into traffic to get to a taxi of any sort. Maybe that's par for NYC or San Francisco, but I'm not doing it.

No, that’s not normal in New York or San Francisco.

Not normal in Chicago, either.

It's just janky Tesla stuff. You can see a Waymo negotiates the turn into the parking lot just fine.
