Physical AI doesn’t just need more data. It needs refined data.

Validated. Calibrated. Traceable. Built with provenance.

That’s why we built Deepen Refinery: a marketplace for real-world data you can actually trust.

How Can Robotaxis Handle Demand Surges?

@ONeilBox Grok's view is only speculation, as is yours and mine. The reality is I don't think there's likely to be any examples of the law being applied this way in ordinary circumstances, so it's just a theory that it might. And the owner will surely take the occasional personal ride

Want To Buy A Tesla Cybercab? The Economics Should Scare You

@ONeilBox I don't recall much effort to apply those rules to Uber drivers, even those who buy/lease a car just for Uber. A fleet's another story, or if there's advertising on the car.

@naltmann Fixed. Though he will probably also be willing to save his head...

@naltmann Fixed.

Robotaxis Accused Of Deadheading, Curb/Charger Hogging. Is That Fair?

@wholemars If the car can generate $500,000 in revenue (profitably) there is no reason Tesla would want to sell it to somebody and give them a part of this revenue, unless their cut is small and the value of their cleaning/servicing it is high.

@EchoDesertRobot This article says many positive things about the Cybercab. Articles on Tesla go negative because Tesla keeps misleading us, and not just a little, and not rarely. I love my Tesla, it's the best EV, but they keep lying on FSD/robotaxi.

@wholemars What's odd is that you find a contradiction. You somehow think that because you take 100 rides and find no problems that this means the technology works, is real and ready to sell. Why do you think that?

[Brad Templeton @bradtem]

@wholemars @MKBHD Can you point to where they say they are selling them? I heard they are running 35 of them in Austin, is there more?

@ethanmckanna @TheWiseIC @Waymo Correct. We want all robocars to meet our safety goals, but we don't want to tell them how to do it. They are, and should be inventing ways to be safer. You don't tell people how to invent, you tell them what the target is.
