[00:00] People who have no regard for their own health and safety can be literal human guinea pigs for Elon Musk riding around in a gold coffin through busy, crowded intersections
[00:12] in major metropolitan areas. Do you think Musk, in his decision to make this gold, was like, I'm worried people think I'm too in touch. Like, I want this to really be a middle finger to the lower and working classes, so let's make it gold.
[00:24] You know what hit me? Have you seen one of these from the front with the doors open? I haven't seen one yet, period. The doors open nine feet out into the street. There is not a single one of these in Manhattan that is not going to have the doors taken off.
[00:38] Don't you think the Model X would have told them, like, maybe we just stop with the whole door gimmicks? The cyber cab is being used now. It was revealed formally the past week, and it is now available for rides in Austin as an actual robo taxi.
[00:51] I see them around here. They are doing testing. They have a driver here. A couple of interesting things. In the US, automakers self-certify that a car meets NHTSA regulations to be sold. The government does not check each car to validate it.
[01:05] Really? Yeah, more or less. They will eventually kind of take a look. But the NHTSA has open investigations because they say, you know, this probably doesn't meet our standards. Automakers can kind of do whatever for testing purposes. Like they're allowed to produce vehicles that don't meet any rules
[01:19] and drive them on roads for testing and development purposes, which makes sense. These are not like out and in theory are for sale.
