Here’s a typical mock drop off by a test car. Strange part - the driver is doing it. FSD is off.

Something kind of ironic about riding in a Waymo as we pass a parked Tesla mapper

Pretty unremarkable, but why is this significant?
The speed limit on this street is 35 miles an hour. I’ve never seen a Tesla robotaxi test vehicle do this.

The mappers are back out. The drivers either don’t know what the sensors do, or they’re assholes.

Robo taxi stuck at a train track.
Luckily, they all have human drivers so it took off as soon as the camera came out

The Seagull gets people off scooters and into EVs
The BYD Seagull is an $8,000 EV, and is China's best-selling car.

You Should Be Afraid Of The BYD Seagull
China’s best-selling car is a downright dignified driving experience. I don’t know if Western automakers can replicate this experience at this price.

This matches what I am seeing on the ground. Whatever they are doing, it’s not getting ready for a launch.
