Reminder that Google and Baidu literally have robo taxis in the street right now. They're not great, but I'm not aware of any of the cars killing anyone.
They have remote controlled taxis driven by people in India.
Man their ping must be awful, no wonder their K/d is zero
They're pretty automated, since there's plenty of cases of Waymo's blocking traffic, driving through police lines, and getting confused at things that wouldn't confuse any human. If they have humans, it's got to be such a high ratio that it takes 5+ minutes to get to a particular car when it's confused.
Baidu started at 1 human:4 taxis, IDK what they're at now. There's quite a few other companies running robotaxis right now, some at <35 cents a mile, for those prices, they can't afford that many Indians.
The big difference is they all use LIDAR, while Musk still insists AI will make his camera approach work, eventually.
