Two days ahead of its first-quarter earnings disclosure, the company had an event to explain its autonomous technology to investors. The talks were probably denser than the average shareholder was expecting but it was an opportunity to see how Tesla will deliver a self-driving car and it announced that Tesla robo-taxis will be available next year.
To kick things off, the company shared that it had built its very own computer for self-driving cars. The neural network chip was built from the ground up; the project started back in 2016. Each computer (which is stored behind the glove box) has redundancy so that if one chip fails, the second chip can take over.

----------------

I saw this story on the news first and he plans for Tesla owners to use their own self driving cars for this and Tesla will keep about 25% of the share,. if so I would pay extra to ride in one and bye Uber and Lyft.

I'd love to know what kind of weed he's smoking.

Unfortunately I'm now very cautious about claims Musk makes. This one sounds impossible to me.

I agree, self driving without a driver as a taxi is about a decade away, but it would be nice if true and he can hurt Uber or Lyft. Plus it would be good for Tesla since people can buy the car and have it out earning what the car costs during the day.

If the pax are visitors to any large city, when they go sdc, they give up a local driver with local knowledge of where to go and what to do, especially at discounts. I think a significant % of pax will prefer driver in car.
Wait until commuter pax get taken for a side trip on a pool ride that makes them be late for work. I've heard several accounts of that very thing happening with driven Uber...and, so, no more pool rides for them. I see moderate demand for sdc in the near future and possibly extended future.
Good drivers know how to get around quicker...we are better lane changers and see optimum opportunities sooner. You don't have to be a cra-cra driver to be an efficient driver.

Just like how Musk "flipped the switch" in 2017 and all sold Tesla's level 5 SDC functions became active.

Nobody takes Elon that's seriously. It's like ground hog day. 3 days before the 1/4 financials are due Elon sticks his head out of the sand and if he make an automomus prediction sell Tesla.
It's now an annual event.

You gotta admit Musks is a helluva sellsman. He's essentially getting people to pay for hope.

He's up there with the very best.

Anyone who drives for Uber or Lyft or buys their stock pay for hope.

 

[Ballermaris]

Musk can barley produce 20,000 cars a year. One million by 2020? Man that must have been some weed he has been smoking, while on autopilot.

 

[everythingsuber]

Tesla’s stock price fell by nearly 4 percent on Monday. My Ground Hog day theory holds up. :smiles:

 

[UberDerrick]

The writing's on the wall, folks.

Uber and Lyft will die whenever Tesla comes out with their Robotaxis.

Start looking for another line of work or start saving to get your own Tesla to put in service for you.

Every prediction Elon Musk made may be late but they ALWAYS come true!

So, knowing that, I'd say we'd be out of work in about 2 to 3 years from now.

We have time to plan but we must plan!

Perhaps AFTER A MILLION CABS

TESLA WILL LEARN TO MAKE FENDERS, Doors fit.

Sounds like you don't know that there are ALREADY over 400,000 Teslas with full self-driving hardware on the road today.

How many Uber self-driving cars are on the road today?

How about Apple cars?

How about ANY other cars?

 

[UberAdrian]

How about ANY other cars?

I heard a rumour that Waymo has like 12 cars in a couple cities.
