Eh. There are driverless taxis working really well in some cities already. I felt very safe riding in a waymo. Tesla is way late to that party, who cares?
A Waymo looks like this. The Tesla robotaxi looks like this - see anything missing?
That's right, all the sensors and hardware required to make safe, functioning autonomous car.
As long as Tesla keeps listening to the fundamentally flawed idea of Musk that "Humans drive using only their eyes, therefore autonomous cars don't require anything except a camera", they are destined to fail, as that system can't prevent crashing into things if it doesn't understand what it is looking at.
Isn't it illegal to drive with headphones on?
I'm sure it varies by location but deaf/hearing impaired people can get a driver's license. Usually requires they wear an aid, or have full view mirrors if they are completely deaf.
These posts keep coming up and remind me of the fear mongering and misinformation that would be used in anti vaccines movements and the like. If you try to discuss it and point out how they are pushing misinformation they will dismiss it and many will go back to "it's just a joke, chill out."
