@robotaxi has been authorized by the State of Texas to operate fully driverless vehicles (with remote supervision) commercially under a new law that took effect today May 28th, @Tesla has officially self-certified the software running on its #RoboTaxi as Level 4
@businessposthq#MetroLink property deals could be kept secret as State negotiates to buy land along route
"CommercialSensitivity" is the biggest blocker of FOI/AiE https://t.co/k6E2NbPDgr
See how Prufrock continuously mines - pushing and building at the same time.
The machines, from Las Vegas to Dubai, are remotely controlled from our Bastrop Operations Center.
These advances help TBC deliver more miles each year in the battle against soul-destroying traffic.
@humantransit That's why I'd prefer to put them underground!
Compare the project you worked on
#BusCONnects in Dublin
Three-year construction of €274m Liffey Valley to Dublin bus corridor to begin in September https://t.co/pXHouraQgm
To what @boringcompany is achieving underground!
The Oxford Road floating bus stops in Manchester are still not working. Time to rethink the design and allow all pedestrians to board and alight the bus without having to cross a cycle lane. As recommended by the British Standard 8300-1:2018.
TBC is excited to announce the first residential Music City Loop station agreement, serving those living at the beautiful Prime, Alcove, and Paramount towers in downtown Nashville.
Residents will take an elevator directly to a Loop station within the building, board a Tesla, and be at the airport in ~9 minutes or Lower Broadway in ~2 minutes.
@businessposthq What a lie, gas lighting of the worst kind, there is nothing ambitious about this, only the pockets of those who will scam money out of gullible investors and the state!
@DaraghCassidy@cormacDublin@jamesswrblx Who in Swords or Hospital visitor is going to want to get a bus to an inconveniently located Metro station or good walk from major shopping/ population centers, When they will have access to Autonomous SharedMobility RoboTaxi services that will offer direct door-to-door services?
There will be two stages to road transformation.
In the first stage, all vehicles will become electric and autonomous. This will reduce accidents, noise, and pollution. We are already starting this transition, and it will be complete by 2035.
In the second stage, tunnels will be built to allow autonomous electric traffic to operate underground. This will further improve safety, eliminate noise, decrease travel times, and free the surface for other uses.
The construction of these tunnels will be enabled by the low-cost labor of humanoid robots and automated construction equipment. Construction of tunnels will begin in a few years, with significant progress by 2035.
Surface streets will become areas for sitting and dining outdoors, with trees, gardens, fountains, and pools to fit our new leisure lifestyle.
