Well, phone cameras still have tiny sensors and lenses. But the software makes up for it to an extent that they are vastly more popular than old school cameras now.

When mobility is a service you use via an app on your phone, it will be 100x more convenient than having to maintain a car yourself. Tap, and the robotaxi arrives in 5 minutes. Leave the car without having to care where to park. You won't be around when the car is in the car wash. It will go there by itself. And if something falls off, Tesla will deal with it, not you.

I'm right there with you and some day it will suck my cock. What a glorious Tesla future we all have to look forward to.

That's Optimus, the Tesla bot. It is a separate product.

This is a ridiculous take, totally disconnected from the reality of how most middle-class Americans live. Maintaining my cars is far more convenient than waiting for a mobility service to arrive. Parking isn't a problem worth worrying about in most of the country; people just park right at their destinations. And I don't want my car to drive away when I get out; I want easy access to all the stuff that I keep in it.

like, for example: car seats
