@GaryMarcus I generally don’t equate “the next decade” as “10 years from now”. It means “within 10 years” aka “1-10 years”.

@GaryMarcus A few hundred is only ten doublings away from a few million. If by “soon” we’re talking the next decade then it’s definitely coming soon.

@skryl_alex there a few hundred there, not a million, and they only operate in a tiny number of places that are extremely well-mapped, with very good weather. and at a big loss, because of costs of the mapping, remote operations etc.

@GaryMarcus You realize this is already happening, right? When was the last time you caught a ride from SFO?

Having followed events at Tesla all week, I can honestly say that I have no idea what’s going to happen there next.

(But no, we will not see an actual fleet of a million robotaxis taking people from arbitrary points A to arbitrary points B anytime on demand soon.)

The conversation appears to be a debate about the timeline for the implementation of a fleet of robotaxis, which is a topic related to technology and its impact on society. The tone is somewhat contentious, with participants challenging each other's interpretations of 'soon' and 'the next decade.' The intent seems to be to clarify expectations and definitions regarding the advancement of autonomous vehicle technology.
