Stock down 7.5% today after 10/10 Robotaxi event. Elon arrives nearly an hour late and showed off concepts of a plan of cybercab and cyberbus.

They have remote controlled taxis driven by people in India.

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.
