last night Tesla shocked the World by giving us something that Apple couldn't excitement they not only introduced two brand new products but they laid out a plan that if if they could pull off it would literally change all of our lives and that is not even an exaggeration what they announced would make parking lots disappear would turn taxi drivers into taxi managers and Elon said and I quote with these three products people will soon live in an age of abundance the likes of which we could have not even envisioned so how the hell is Tesla going to take us there or they believe with the Cyber taxi the robo van and the Optimus robot so like the video if you want to see a future full of abundance and absent of Diddy parties and let's get back in okay so last night for America today for us in the UK Tesla rented out the entire Warner Brother studio in La all to introduce to us the Cyber taxis the robo van and they even had optimus's up toi uh walking around and Among Us Among Us humans and even serving people at the bar I mean if you haven't noticed yet they are literally recreating the iroot movie in real life but apparently a good version yeah we all hope and pray so they decided to call it the we robot event I mean even if it's supposed to be the good version you it'd be nice if like will could just stay in shape for maybe like the next decade just in case but you see what I loved about this event is that Tesla didn't just release another old product like godamn I mean that's what we saw with apple right the biggest tech company in the world just releasing another iPhone pretty much the same as last year but with Tesla's products they were created to try and fundamentally change transport as we know it for the better so let let's go on this journey together okay get your imagining caps on this lame isn't there an imagining cap or is it a thinking cap whatever let's get our thinking caps on imagine owning a fully self-driving sub $330,000 car where when you are not using it it could literally be out there making you money by giving other people lifts let me explain I really love this idea so much so Elon talks about how you know out of the 168 hours we have in a week only 10 of those hours are people actually driving on average because for them to be used you need a human and a human's time but take away that human and not only this suddenly everyone's car become useful in the 94% of the hours that it is unused throughout the week but also you get those 10 hours back as well because essentially you're stepping into the little comfy you know waiting room essentially where you could now go the hell back to sleep and get those extra 30 minutes an hour and you then and wake up rested at your Des destination or you could watch a movie do work anything else you can imagine and Tesla believes that this individualized mass transit love that phrase would decrease Transportation costs dramatically in fact he says that the Cyber taxi will become 80% cheaper per mile than the freaking bus 80% Elon believes that yeah it seems crazy now getting into a car with no steering wheel and no pedals but he reckons that the same way that we now go into an elevator and we don't even think about you know it not being operated by a human like it used to be it'll be the same but this time for cars just think about this taxi drivers would go from taxi drivers to taxi managers where they simply supervise and Fleet to these things and I mean I guess thinking about it like the main bit of resistance that I can imagine is like you don't really want someone else in your car I get that but they say that they also will have these little stations where you know they are cleaned entirely by robots and they even have wireless charging so it brings it back to you fully charged and SP and span they'll just drive in and while they're getting clean they'll be stationed over this pad where it's just charging so you know saves a bunch of time and here's another really cool point that he made you know the scary factor of you know like getting in a car and it being driven by itself you know I can imagine that being a pretty big issue right but as data already shows at least as of right now self-driving cars are safer than human driven cars for example Tesla's full self-driving beta vehicles uh crashed 0.13 times per million miles on non-highway roads compared to 1.53 for human drivers and human era is accounting for the vast majority of those collisions and I mean the reason that he gives for autonomous vehicles being safer currently let's just put that disclaimer in there is because these databases are collecting information from millions of these cars from all over the world which are also experiencing millions of some of the wildest hazards the average human however hasn't even encountered a tenth of what these test are experiencing and then learning from therefore they would instantly know what to do in some of the craziest situations that the average human would have never encountered and actually saying that makes me think there was definitely some movie where they made this Mark about like robots like once one learns something they all instantly know it and that is like terrifyingly powerful whereas you know like the smartest person in the world Elon if he learns something you know we would have to go through the process of trying to understand and learn what he's no if he's a robot bang we all know it and that is a rapid evolution of intelligence that I don't think we can comprehend I mean that's why AI is so terrifyingly potentially powerful now he lists as a consequence of all of these potentially beautiful and amazing things transport would be cheaper cities would be cleaner and Elon even said that we could take the in Lots out of parking lots and just turn them back into beautiful green Parks now along with these cyber taxis they also Al unveiled the robo van which Elon called the Roven because of course it's Elon and to be fair they didn't give us much detail on this thing apart from that it'll be able to carry up to 20 people or just you know transport goods and then that could even further lower the cost of transportation and then finally the third product which I personally think has you know the biggest potential for um going crazy and being really bad is the optim optimises that's the worst plural let's just decide this now it's not optimus's is because that's Corin casserole optimi one Optimus many optimy Optimus sues whatever now at this event he let them out of their cages to roam amongst the humans and honestly I'm not going to lie some of these interactions were kind of crazy like they played paper scissor rock with someone um that's pretty wild now as for the actual use case of these optim Mimis um he said anything the best way to think about it is like imagine chat GPT if you ever used that imagine chat GPT with a body yeah gets weird he said that you could own your own uh for about $20,000 or they are available to rent by the hour it'll be able to uh babysit your kids which oh God I mean wouldn't be the first thing as someone who's creating this I would like to throw out there you're really throwing us in the deep end there like we already think these things are pretty damn creepy let alone raise our children for us it could also do things things like household chores tidying up making dinner mowing the lawn shopping for groceries taking care of the elderly family members just generally any of the tasks that we humans don't really want to do he believes that the optim will become so useful that like just how everyone owns a car everyone will own a robot AKA their own ethical slave and because of that he said it will become the biggest product ever of any kind with Optimist we're essentially creating our own ethical slaves that have no feelings and because of that Elon said basically anyone will be able to have any products or services that they want it will be an age of abundance the likes of which people have never envisioned that is simultaneously exciting and terrifying I don't even know how I feel about that and look I'm not going to stand here and ignore all of the counterpoints that people have you know fairly put out there like Elon promising the world so many times things that haven't really come about yet and also that these things are so ambitious that it simply will never happened and like fair enough right they they have some valid points but godamn off the back of what freaking Apple gave us this was it just felt so refreshing it felt exciting again you know it gives us something cool to look forward to in the future and yeah Tesla has taken a bunch of risk and will probably almost certainly make a bunch of mistakes but I for one as a customer you know that's the kind of products that I want to see someone at least trying to create and I mean it's worth remembering that elon's the guy that brought us freaking starlink he's the one that made a rocket 30 times cheaper than NASA's space shuttle in 1981 and 11 times cheaper than the average launch cost for them he brought us PayPal he made Tesla which fun fact is actually the only electric call company in the world that's profitable that that is a wild little rabbit hole to go down to but I urge you to go down to it cuz it is mind-blowing but point is I think that we look on the bright side here and encourage Innovation rather than just criticize it out of existence now he says that the cyber taxis will go into production before 2027 as for the optimy uh not really sure so I mean I guess the ultimate question is what do you think could Tesla actually pull all of this off or are they just making these promises that they cannot keep woo two vids two days I bet you didn't expect that huh I don't want to see one late comment in fact I never want to see a late comment again for this week's performance all right love you guys I'll be back on Monday whip in hand for the news Roundup rapid fire news and I'll see you then love you bye oh wait wait wait back again can't can't ruin tradition love you bye
