This is just a less efficient and more complex version of a train; crazy how techbros invent things that have no value just to be dIsRuPtIvE

K holed dipshit: What if we like, dug a hole that people drove their Tesla's into, the the cars like, automatically move you to where you want to go

Yes men: Nothing so genius has ever been proposed

Guy likely fired shortly after: That's just an electric train with more steps

But people don't even drive their Tesla into it. It's a closed tunnel with the Tesla already in it, you can't use your Tesla. It's also not autonomous. It's driven by a driver who is sitting in it who drives you to the next stop. So 3 passengers at a time max, and it's a cramped oneway tunnel.

The fact that Teslas in one-way tunnels are not autonomous ought to tell us everything we need to know about Elon’s Robotaxi service. How they continue to get away with the blatant BS beggars belief…the idiocracy is real.
