Buying huh. Where’d they get the money

Can't hire decent employees? Buy a shitty startup $tslaq

So Elon lied about where Tesla was with FSD technology at this time

Glad we see that is complicit in the fraud! Can’t wait to get my class action lawsuit check!

So they didn't have the hardware technology already for 1 million robotaxies by next year? Looks like their investors have been flamboozled again.

Vaporware + vaporware = ?

Melissa Lee endorsement I'm sure

Truly, since before AP was just a cash grab?

With what money?

LOL! so what exactly did they raise that $2.5 billion SEO on a few months ago? FSD should pretty much be done at this point according to Elon. Tic Tok.

tonythearena So karpathy is the next barnacle up for scrubbing ?

We don’t need driverless cars because if you do that people lose their jobs we need jobs for people and driving cars like for Uber taxis keeps Americans a lot and plus people would rather trust somebody behind the wheel

Why? FSD is supposed to be ready before year's end and the Tesla chip is supposed to be years ahead of the competition. Were these yet new fElon lies? Will DeepScale somehow enable $tslaq to grow its robotaxi army from 0 to 1 million by April 2020?

Truly as opposed to Musk lying about Robotaxis. Enron Calling...☎️

What have they been doing up to now?

limited by poor mapping of roads and locations of interest

Next step...........passenger-less driverless cars.

Cool but why did they buy Maxwell?

O__rust Are they admitting their A.P. team wasn't good enough

UPS Gets FAA Nod for Widespread Drone DeliveriesThe United Parcel Service said it received the first-of-its-kind federal approval to start setting up a fleet of unmanned aircraft to deliver health supplies and eventually consumer packages potentially throughout the U.S. Someone is gonna hack that and take the meds. What a great tool for a future surveillance state to pull data from! Brilliant! I mean, the data they can already mine from our smart phones is already almost giving our entire selves over, but it's nice to have options. I do wonder how people will react to dones flying over their property. I suspect more than a few will be shot down and there will be a flood of legal cases as this gets rolled out. Good luck with that UPS.
