Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps…

… But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!

    Looking forward to the headlines: “Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph”

      The sad thing is these things will probably not be taken of the road until a few dozen people have been run over.

        They won’t be taken off the road. After the first passengers are hit, they will blame “jaywalkers” and suggest some kind of tracking tech we have to wear.

      And these greedy, unscrupulous, technofascist enabling influencers promoted it. This is our current normal apparently.I hate mainstream internet culture with a passion.

      That language is too active. It’s more like “robot taxi passenger needs medical attention”. “During the ride with a robot taxi a passenger became unwell. It’s unclear at this point what caused the passenger to become dizzy and get a head wound. Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk told this reporter that there was no problem at all and that the passenger arrived faster at their destination than initially calculated.”
