Don't know about the timeline ... Some members of the public, anytime you turn their back on them, they will use it as an opportunity to deface property, or poop on it, or outright try to damage disable it. You better have some kind of an automatic boxing glove ready to punch these characters in the face as sad as it might seem ..... as it's the only way to deal with some members of the public. Just look at the inside of many public elevators as an example. .

"Unsupervised" Full Self Driving will be the threshold that Robotaxi is practical. But from the presentation: $0.20/mi - the car $0.05/mi - the bus/van So I like to go to Starship test launches, rife ranges, feral hog hunting areas, and multi-day vacations. How will that robotaxi work for me? Hummm, Robotaxi deliver this ticking box to someone I don't like. Bob Wilson
