I thought they were going to put rails down there so you could drive your car onto a platform thing and then it would zip you off wherever you wanted? That would enable the same rails to run subway cars, cargo pods, etc.. Why the fuck are they trying to just have it rely on Tesla camera- only FSD? It's a homogeneous tube with no distinguishing features. If Elon thought that was going to work then I feel like he knows even less about robotics and computer vision than I thought he did.
They could just paint some things down there to follow. This should not be that hard.
Because Elon wants to sell more cars. That's all there is to it. If you put rails there, you'd essentially have a subway, and Elon doesn't make as much money from that.
You should look up the videos for it. It's a pretty funny waste of money and time. You basically wait in line to get in a car with strangers to drive 15 minutes what would have took you 5 minutes to walk.
Wow that's disappointing
