Makes it more like a toll.

They don't need cars on any free subscription to collect whatever data they want (assuming someone checked the I approve button at some point).

Uber drivers don't understand how much they are depreciating their car, that's why uber model works. (IMHO of course)

Battle scar.

Not for free, that’s for sure. If a car with real self driving an no steering wheel could be purchased, I would assume you might need to only purchase comprehensive insurance. If someone else is taking the liability I’d sssume they get paid for it. I pay a pile for insurance now every month...

If I'm home, I would assume I could load shed and it would be useful for an extended outage (keep the fridge and freezer going). At least better than neighbors that had nothing. But ultimately a generator with a local fuel source would clearly be the most reliable.

You can submit a service ticket with the parts list and pick them up at a service center. But not for all parts.

I’m on the “no” camp.

@Thp3 the new FSDS won’t get up to the set speed in regular “driver controls the limit” mode either. At least for me on my roads.

No different from a manually driven car and we don’t frequently see those type of accidents.

For the wipers? :)

True. Maybe add some future low cost lidar for up close accurate maneuvering.

I'd think throw more horsepower and the computing and continue vision. Or use their fleet and do hyper accurate mapping. I do think they may need more cameras for more stereo vision.

To me that sounds like the $40k cybertruck. And yes, none of the robots have really hatched and we don't know what they are capable of doing in a productive (earn $$) sort of way.

Probably I found with self plugging is if it does leak no tire store will touch it again and do a proper patch from inside. so I save it for emergency use only, I find a tire store if I can.
