I would like to know two things:

1. Why don't they show a driver entering or exiting? 2. How much do that particular "car" weigh?

They imply a heavy weight with the suction downforce numbers but I think those numbers are not real. I’m reminded of neural link where the pig food detector was unimpressive, then shortly later a monkey demo was very impressive, they have since had human trials and humans don’t appear to get anywhere close to that same level.

They said there was no real driver in it for safety reasons

  • Well, that's a bit of a downer then isn't it? Not safe enough for them but safe enough for you to put a downpayment on...

    • No, it’s invitation only, i don’t think they intend to sell it. It’s probably also for weight reduction to not use a real driver. I guess it’s stripped down to the minimum, because why would you put a 300 mile battery in a car that isn’t even road legal? The main purpose is marketing and they are masters in that
