  • Musk has staked Tesla’s future on self-driving vehicles he has promised for a decade but hasn’t delivered, making Austin’s robotaxi launch closely watched as a potential milestone. Some analysts and investors attribute the majority of Tesla’s stock market value to hopes for robotaxis and humanoid robots it has yet to deliver.

    We’ve had Waymo and Zoox operating in town for years. Waymo started road testing here almost 10 years ago now. Tesla is so far behind on this it’s not even funny. I expect their cars to be subject to vandalism, also.

    Edit to add: All they’re saying they don’t want released are deployment patterns, like how many cars, where, and when. Whatever, that info is basically useless anyway. That they’re fighting so hard to conceal useless info demonstrates they already lack confidence in their service













  • I’m on cheap Google Fiber. It’s been $70/mo since we first got it about 6-7 years ago. Before that, AT&T and Time Warner had a duopoly in my area, and getting to tell them to go fuck themselves was the sweetest day of my life. They are awful businesses who treat their staff and customers like shit while delivering inferior service. I’ve rarely had a problem with Google Fiber, and if there’s downtime, they give you a prorated discount. Customer service is really easy to access, also, vs waiting on hold or in person in line with the other ISPs.
