The Tesla robotaxi event would have been impressive if we didn’t already have Waymo autonomous vehiicles giving 100,000 rides in Phoenix and San Francisco.
Instead this was a vaporware announcement in a constrained environment with optimistic timelines, capabilities and prices reminiscent of the original promises of the cybertruck.
I actually found the bit about Optimus robots interacting with the audience more interesting than the robotaxi announcement.
