Uberrobo - The Obedient Servant

A modest proposal?

An Ai Hallucination

Tesla Optimus Gen 3?

I recently heard that one of the founders of Uber wants to buy all 200,000 for the self-driving autotaxis that Elon is proposing to build in the next year. Rather than that, how about taking the Gen 2 Optimus Tesla Bot robot and teaching it how to drive?

I always thought that would be an excellent way to be an Uber driver, so I'm making a suggestion to Elon.  When you sell a Model X luxury unit - have a robot as an option. The $10,000 for the self-driving software would be more palatable and could be the start of an exciting way things go.  

After all, Telsa has always been the disrupter of the industry - so why not service? Most of the Self-driving cars I've seen coming down the line have the uncanny valley problem of having the driver's seat full of tech equipment or not having a driver's position at all. Recently, I had the opportunity to ride in a Model X from Uber with the self-driving software - the driver said he liked using the summon feature to let him pull the car out of his garage and respond to his customers. He fantasized about a stable of robot taxis that would work for him.

The Fantasy

It's actually pretty close—considering the Model X is about $100,000, and the Optimus Tesla Bot is targeted to be $25,000—so there could be a new model for Limousine services. Imagine if the Robot could drive the existing vehicles and move from one to another.

That may be the dream - However.

This is the more likely scenario that the tech guys are dreaming about.
