A viral video showed a man repeatedly causing a Tesla Cybercab to slam on its brakes by jumping into the middle of the road – raising concerns that pranksters could pose a serious problem for the new driverless vehicles.
The video, which has racked up 1.3 million views and counting on X, shows the unnamed, paunchy man hopping into the street in front of a moving Cybercab and then back onto the sidewalk. The robotaxi repeatedly slams on the brakes before eventually sitting in the middle of the street with its hazard lights on while a standard car with a driver pulls around.
The Cybercab has been lauded as a key facet of the company’s long-term path to growth as it has struggled with slumping sales of its electric cars.
Musk has said the company will transform into a broader tech firm focusing on artificial intelligence and humanoid robots.
As for me, I don't get in to anything doesn't have a human behind the wheel, period. And I ain't 'Juss' sayin'...
No thank you. I remember JohnnyCab.

Maybe some people are just a&&holes.
ReplyDeleteCybercabs will now be equipped with mini machine guns to protect the occupants from stupid jerkwads.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous just sparked a thought - how long before someone does this as part of a carjacking?
