Anthony Levandowski (pardoned by Trump on his last day in office for a criminal conviction for stealing IP from Google) brings some sanity in analyzing what the missing hard parts are from the Robotaxi unveil tonight. (Story doesn't really match headline.)

Digital Cousins: Scaling Real-to-Sim Data for Robotic Learning
By

How do you effectively scale up real to sim data for robotic learning? We propose a new idea called “digital cousins” to simultaneously reduce the cost of real to sim generation while improving generalizability in learning 🦾😍 https://t.co/Gm4TFgsCtx

Tesla Fleet and Robotaxi Evolution: Manufacturing and Finance
By
–
I’d bet on Tesla fleet. Easy to print and finance cars, housing is pretty different. And Robotaxis will evolve towards a comfort-oriented form-factor. Most Ubers are bought for Ubering, not spare inventory.

Robotaxis Fixed Supply Economics vs Uber Driver Dynamics
By
–
Uber supply (drivers on road) go down when demand is low. Robotaxi supply is fixed, marginal costs are low. May as well use ‘em.

Key Questions for Tesla’s CyberCab Unveiling Event
By
–
What to look for in tomorrow's CyberCab unveil. Will existing Teslas be part of it, as previously promised? Will the new purpose-built car have Lidar? How will they get driverless licensing (they are way behind Waymo, Cruise, and Zoox on regulatory front)?
