00:00Hello everybody, there's a lot that's been going on in this past week.
00:03We're going to talk about a few of those things.
00:04The first thing being that Tesla has finally launched their RoboTaxis.
00:08You can see it right here on their website.
00:10This is the CyberCab, this is their RoboTaxi.
00:13And you can actually download this app right here to get one.
00:17Now if we scroll down, this is of course what it looks like.
00:21Looks really cool, interesting about the doors by the way.
00:25I'll talk about that in a little bit.
00:26But this is just like an Uber ride.
00:28You're going to basically use your app.
00:31You're going to call your CyberCab.
00:33It's going to come pick you up and bring you to where it needs to go.
00:37Interestingly enough, what I've heard about these doors from a lot of different people
00:41is that the doors open really awkwardly.
00:43They don't minimize the distance that they come out.
00:46So they actually kind of go into traffic.
00:48If you are on the right side of a road, it'll kind of go into traffic a little bit.
00:52Which makes it difficult to open.
00:53But let's keep scrolling anyways.
00:55Anyways, just so you know, these cars cannot be driven like a normal car.
00:59So like if you get in the car, even on the driver's side, it's not even going to have
01:02a steering wheel.
01:03You can't just get in there and drive it like a normal car.
01:07So just something to note.
01:08But if you come in here, they have right here, they have the Model Y.
01:11And they have the CyberCab.
01:13The CyberCab is a lot smaller.
01:15And this is mostly for like two people or a single person getting picked up.
01:19Then you have your Model Y.
01:20It's up to four passengers.
01:21Of course, it has four doors now.
01:23And then there's something interesting, and I didn't hear a ton about this, at least
01:27not for the launch at least, is they have something called a RoboVan.
01:32This is arriving soon.
01:33This is not something that is available yet.
01:35But this has autonomous microtransit suitable for large groups and designed for accessibility.
01:40I'm just going to imagine it can fit about the same amount of people as a regular minivan.
01:44Maybe it's going to be more.
01:45Maybe it'll be like 12 people, which would be a lot.
01:48But this design is just wild.
01:50I mean, this is nothing like anything they have.
01:54This is just a wild design.
01:55We will see how this looks.
01:57Now, you will note that autonomous robo-taxi rides are currently being offered only in Austin,
02:03Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa.
02:07So only Texas and Florida.
02:09As a person who just loves tech and technology and this type of things, I think this is amazing.
02:14At the same time, this is like really futuristic, right?
02:19Like these are the things that we thought might happen in our lifetime at some point.
02:23I thought maybe when I was old.
02:25But it's happening.
02:26My in-laws live out in Dallas.
02:28So I guarantee you he's seeing these right now.
02:31I'm going to give him a call after this.
02:32But I guarantee you he's seeing these.
02:34And this is happening even within his generation.
02:36And so it's just really interesting how fast things have gone.
02:40With that being said, with this futuristic tech, especially not having a steering wheel
02:44or a way to brake or other things that normal cars would have, it's come under fire.
02:50You can see right here it says Fed launches investigation into Tesla's cyber cab deployment.
02:55Now this comes from the National...
