I think the concept is cool, and it would probably make a good replacement for buses. In my area, we have on-demand vans run by the org that runs the buses, and they basically take people to/from any transit stop in the area. A robovan would replace those, and potentially replace buses as well, and they could run more frequently because you don’t need to have drivers.
So I absolutely like the idea, but I still think it looks dumb. Why screens instead of windows? Why does it look like it’s from a video game?
I mean theoretically you could use Miracast or similar technology to cast whatever you want onto those displays, whether that’s watching movies/TV or doing work from your computer.
It has windows.
Why does it look like it’s from a video game?
I mean why do vehicles from video games looks like they do? Because they’re cool. You can say a lot of things about Tesla but you can’t call them conventional. Sometimes that’s good, and sometimes not so much. Beauty is subjective.
On the sides, and they’re like 1/3 of the total length of the vehicle, and on the ceiling. At least from the bit that I saw in the presentation. Buses today have much better visibility.
Because they’re cool
Nah, I think it’s because it fits the art direction of the game. Cyberpunk has a certain feel, and GTA has another.
The robovan and the cybertruck don’t match anything in the real world, or anything that came before. So it sticks out like an eyesore IMO.
But yeah, beauty is subjective, and I guess we’ll see what it actually looks like if it ever hits the market.
Yeah, I mean it’s like any art. I may not like it, but I appreciate diversity. In the case of the van, I actually like it. And where other autonomous companies are just taking existing vehicles and modifying them, Tesla represents a new way of thinking about autonomous transport from the ground up, much like they did with electric cars in general.
