No way in hell is this going to be ready in two years.
Although I do like the idea behind the vehicle.

So glad I have Tesla shorts lol
At first, i was staunchly against this as i am onboard the Fuck Tesla and Musk train.
However, electric auto-taxis would be great in addition to mass transport.
Fuck Musk, btw
Agreed. Although they started the show by showing a slide of how shit subways are.. so I don't think it is in Teslas interest to be an addition to mass transport. And they themselves walk a fine line between selling a consumercar or just reinventing buses
Where I live, there is a bus driver shortage leading to cancelled buses and limited service. Cyber cab, van or bus that runs the route outside of peak hours to give 24/7 service and monitor routes would be a big help. And it's a fixed route so the system can be optimized for those.
They would, but don’t expect it from Tesla. Other companies are making actual, real progress while Musk continues kicking the can down the road with bold promises and no timelines.
electric robotaxis can help reduce co2 emissions and decrease the total amount of cars. This is good.
If it works. Don't Teslas still have problems in his stupidass underground Vegas loop? And that's pretty much as ideal driving conditions as you can get.

Looks more like the number of cars will stay the same-ish, but now there won't be a taxi driver making a living of it.
Wrong. The problem right now is low utilisation of cars. Most cars just sit around 90-95% of the day. A robotaxi would have much higher utilisation, therefore fewer cars are needed overall.
A robotaxi would have much higher utilisation
You could call this "hope".
Or "wet dream".
Are you familiar with the concept of a taxi? Do you really think a taxi does not make more trips per day than a privately owned car?

In theory.
