Tesla Robotaxi Mows Down Bollards & Keeps Driving, After “Impeccable” Record Touted on Stock Call

I used to be real hyped about self-driving cars. I thought it would be just the answer we needed to our profound lack of public transportation. But after they took off the LIDAR system, it just became a money grab. And what was I thinking anyway? Self-driving cars? the answer to no public transportation? As if you’d want one of these cheap systems in charge full of a BUS of people?

My ex-wife was right. Shoulda just went with fucking trains. But we can’t, because an ego-maniacal billionaire wants to be a trillionaire. Reason #4,506 of why I hate living in the United States
