The “driver” part of the equation is something I’m sure we’ll figure out in the next 10 years. It’s all the other things drivers do that artificial intelligence can’t do. (At least, not well.) Pulling up to a loading dock? Navigating extremely tight turns? Cleaning the inside of the trailer? Repairing the reefer?

I thought they had this technology for some time now

I have no problem with this. It’s just a little hatchback. Okay to trade a couple mpg for a couple inches lift that make it easier to get in and out. Why shouldn’t Toyota make a boring little CrossTrek competitor? My mom loves her Kona, it’s the ideal grandma mobile. Safe, cheap, easy to operate, just enough tech

On second thought it looks like a Subaru in the front and a Toyota in the back. My previous point still stands though

Well it’s a Toyota alright 

I will start to cheer for this project when they have two lane and a 30+ people cars

Ah right, sorry, what stupid fucking *companies*

In the event of a fire: Don’t panic. Elon has a drawing on a napkin for exactly how to build a submarine. They’ll just fill the tunnel with water and come and rescue you. 

I believe there are 1. no escape hatches / doors and 2. no ventilation systems.

You can fully drive it yourself - see!

I assume he kills people that do this.

But it has Autopilot and Full Self Driving, I should be able to sit in the frunk while it drives.

I still do not understand why did does not have a fast lane. On the ceiling. For F1 cars.

Someone needs to tell Elon that it’s okay to just say “Actually guys, nevermind. This one is a bad idea”.

Hmm... it would be easier for the cars to go in the direction they need to if they were able to follow a rail of some kind. And then since they’re on a rail, they can use harder tires that run on the rail directly for reduced rolling resistance. AND, if they’re on a rail, we could get rid of the problem of having

If they were smart when these tunnels were built, there would be a escape doors along the route and a way to close off the tunnels and limit oxygen as well as provide extinguishing foam..........I’m not expecting anything that smart though

Yes.

If I grow wings and lose weight I might one day be able to fly, maybe.

it can’t reverse down a tunnel itself?

These silly tunnels are still happening? I had no idea. I figured people had realized that there's nothing revolutionary about building tunnels..
