Apparently there is now a Gen Z TikTok trend where they are romanticizing being a millennial in 2012

imagine never buying another car just because waymo exists

where's your sense of adventure

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

Finally the press is getting what I've been saying here for years.

The @waymo customers tell me the future. They tell me over and over again:

1. I'm never buying another car.
2. I'm never driving again.
3. I'm never taking an Uber again.

Next year this all will be obvious to everyone.

I, and others, took so much shit for trying to warn people about Tesla's lead for years. I had one post about how Tesla was leading and how our driving technology was changing years ago get tens of thousands of haters here on X.

They said things like "I love to drive." Or "you need LiDARs." Or "Elon is evil." My own brother still believes these three things, despite me giving him a ride in my robot for hours.

Next year everyone will change, I'm seeing signs of it everywhere since I talk with the Tesla community so often.

But in three years what we believe about transportation will be dramatically different than it is today.

By the way, the haters just disappear. They very rarely apologize for being wrong.

It's something I've noticed hundreds of times in my career. Remember a million people protested the news feed when Zuckerberg first turned that on.

All the traditional automakers killed their projects. VW even has its name on the building where @waymo started at Stanford University and then refused to put AI computers and cameras in all of its cars, saying its customers didn't want them. Same at Mercedes, Ford, and others.

GM bought Cruise, but refused to switch to a camera-only vehicle and then gave up after it had an ethical lapse and didn't report an accident properly. But I told everyone here they were headed in the wrong direction years before they gave up. And so many gave me shit for that.

Well, next year the world will change and all the Tesla haters can just go pound sand.

It, alone, is the only one bringing life-saving technology to everyone. I have two in my garage already. Waymo still isn't on my street and when it does come (any day now, they already announced it) it'll have a product that doesn't have as good an experience as Tesla has in its Robotaxi.

"But there are still drivers in Tesla," the haters now are saying.

But by the end of next year (I predict by April) that no longer will be true.

And then we will be in a new world.

Even the press is starting to wake up to that now.

never been big on guns, starting to get it

[Chris Paxton @chris_j_paxton]

Always important to remember that a lot of these robots are "faking" the humanlike motions -- its a property of how they're trained not an inherent property of the hardware. They're actually capable of way weirder stuff and way faster motions.
