I'm actually genuinely interested in getting this. It is almost as if maybe what a modern day Fiero might have looked like today.

Looks decent, but no pedals or steering wheel? How much?


I really wonder how it could get out of our driveway in the morning. It's a busy road, and it's not fun.

Also would stink it something messed with the network...

I wonder how efficient the inductive charging is?

I just don't like that it doesn't have a 'manual" mode...





its a 2024 CRX!

I absolutely think Elon Musk is a genius. He has done amazing things but until he can get his standard Tesla's "hands free" feature to work correctly without people dying, the CyberCab can wait.

I haven't heard anyone dying or mass crashes as a result of FSD in Teslas. That is obviously a circulated myth. I guess it's like all Fieros catch fire type of rumor.

The videos of those driving on FSD without assistance is really amazing. It gets better and better on a rapid rate. They updated that literally monthly now. It's superior to humans in all aspects.

I believe Elon is right to say that we as a society will get very used to cars without pedals and steering wheels. It will be 50 x safer than human piloted ones and that is a believable statement.

But this as a grocery getter, school pickup/dropoff, errands or going out, would be perfect.

No it's not a myth. Here in California, idiots on our busy freeways seem to think it's a great idea. The issue is it's inability to determine the changes in the lanes as well as self braking. There have been about 50 accidents so far since mid year. Here's the worst one where the Apple exec was driving and playing games on his phone. The car misjudged the lane paint in a construction zone and put him head on into a barrier.


Here's another one on tha SF Bay Bridge where the Tesla "thought" something was in front of it, slammed it's brakes and caused a major pileup.

Happens to human piloted ones, thousand a day.

One question regarding the GPS- what would the cybercab do it if was "confused"?, and how would it handle a detour? Wait, that's TWO questions. Am I allowed to ask two? oh great, that was a third question...


We were driving over the weekend, and the GPS went all wonky, If I followed it's advice, we would have been stuck in a loop forever. I had to make a turn and then find the right exit ramp, but the GPS was *VERY* confused for awhile, it kepot saying to make turns at lights and stop signs and such...Once we were on the main road, it was ok again...

My biggest gripe is that lane paint is behind potholes to be repaired.

I really don't like self-driving cars, but....75% of the people out there should not be allowed to ride a bike, let alone drive a car!

Also, I don't like gull-wing doors- if you are upside-down after a crash, you cannot open either door...at least with normal doors, you can open one door no matter how the car ends up.
