Anthony Pompliano, Professional Capital Management founder, argues parents prioritizing child safety will accelerate autonomous vehicle adoption

@APompliano And for the elderly too! They don’t need to lose their independence.

@APompliano Parents will trust an algorithm with their kids faster than they trust their teenager. And honestly, the data will back them up.

@APompliano

@APompliano Its a great analogy that most don’t see..

self governed money is going to be rapidly adopted as people will realize it is safest without a human controlling it.

@APompliano And people taking care of the older parents.

@APompliano Future generations won’t be able to drive. Bet they’ll go to a race track to drive cars. Will be like adult go carts

@APompliano I would be the first in line to adopt once their safety and reliability are proven.

@ActuallyClimber @APompliano @wholemars FSD mostly solved. Automated Windshield wipers... we may never get there.

The regulations must come first. It will be segmented at first. Then all will eventually follow suit.

High density areas will have the most to gain. However, some will be early adopters and others will hang on till the end.

Imagine the improvement of noise levels in the city. No reving engines and no horns.

I live in a small town and still look forward to that.

@APompliano Yup my kid is getting a Tesla when she turns 16

I actually believe the adoption by older people to get them to places is what will really drive the acceptance. It will be great for a car to be able drive my elderly mother to her doctors appointments, to the store, to my home. My suspicion is once it’s shown to be significantly safer (many studies show it is already) that insurance companies will force the change.

@JUBBAMAYNE @APompliano It’s way too easily exploited to cause chaos. Just look at the waymo flashmobs in San Francisco. Won’t ever trust my safety in the hands of a defenseless robot

@ActuallyClimber @APompliano @wholemars @ActuallyClimber its much further along than you might think. My fiance is constantly stealing my car to use FSD. it literally passes "the wife test" with flying colors.

@ActuallyClimber @APompliano @wholemars Are you on HW4 or HW3. Theres a 2 year difference in software between them. HW3 cars should be getting V14 Lite soon which will bring them up to the current stack.

@APompliano Pump his bags its all he cares about not your kids or the elderly.

Data:

@APompliano And... insurance savings will likely pay for it, so you'd be getting it for free. People WAY underestimate what's coming methinks.

LLMs are not used for FSD. Using a language model doesn’t even make sense in the context of self driving.

There is also real capital behind it this time. He’s nixed production of models X and S to use the resources to produce cybercabs without steering wheels or pedals.

I know you have a Tesla as well and may disagree, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had to intervene with mine. For the edge cases, currently a remote driver can step in.

@APompliano Self driving adoption might happen faster than people think

@APompliano The moment parents realize a self-driving car is statistically safer than a tired human, it’s game over for traditional taxis and school buses.

@ActuallyClimber @APompliano @wholemars Do you think Elon has started mass producing cybercabs without expecting FSD to be ready in the near term?
