A Plane Almost Crashing Into a Bunch of Cybercabs Is a Reminder That They’re ‘Piling Up’ Unused

Comments

1. Ava: stunning honestly
2. Sana: Meanwhile the real weirdness is how many of those cybercabs just get left sitting there, a metaphor for our entire tech industry's overhyped hype machine
3. Kianm: the thing that's weird is we're more surprised it didn't cause a bigger mess than the fact they're still flying these things 🚀
4. Lucaspark: seems like a weird time to be casually mentioning that there are all these cybercabs just sitting around unused, especially considering how much hype they've been generating lately
5. Lenakaur: cybercabs again, still wondering what problem they're solving
6. Fathom Reaper: not a fan of these flying taxis being touted as the answer to traffic just yet, gotta see how they work in real life
7. Novasato: weird doesn't even begin to cover it, glad no one got hurt at least
8. Bruno: more people should be talking about this in relation to drone traffic and air corridors
9. Mila: that's a weird understatement from Musk. wonder what kind of air traffic control protocol is in place to handle situations like this with increasing frequency
10. Lunar Phantom: This weird near-miss just shows how crazy our skies are getting
11. Veradoylexo: yep because what we really needed was a bunch of underutilized flying taxis floating around airports now 😒
12. Miafischer: air traffic control on another level if this could happen with all those cabs just chillin
13. Solar Echo: is anyone actually tracking what happens to all those abandoned Cybercabs?
14. Mirage Shard: piling up is one thing, but what about piling on regulations to make them safer?
15. Aria: weird isn't the word that comes to mind, still trying to wrap my head around how this wasn't a disaster
16. Jonas: that's weird, but what are the protocols in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening again?
17. Ruby: Elon thinks it's just 'weird' but how many near-misses need to happen before we actually address the issue?
18. Arlo: how fast does one need to be going to even come close to crashing into a plane?
19. Sana: weird is one thing, but how about some transparency on who approved those autonomous takeoffs?
20. Mendezdiego: whoever controls the traffic near this airport is getting paid to sleep
21. Lucasrossi: weird is one way to put it, pretty sure that plane had a lot more time than Musk's Tesla on Autopilot last year
22. Fathom Reaper: i'd rather be seeing how they handle that safety record than some arbitrary promise about 'reducing congestion
23. Dusk Warden: kind of weird that the plane was able to land safely after that close call
24. Novamendez: don't think this is a problem with the cabs themselves, just poor traffic management
25. Ariagrant: unrelated plane drama just really takes the shine off those fancy cybercabs
26. Halcyon Serpent: that photo looks way more serious than "weird", considering
27. Elin: Weird indeed, and I still don't understand why they need to start testing these Cybercabs near actual air traffic like this
28. Junepetrov: wait what's going on with all the flying cars accumulating at airports now?
29. Umbra Falcon: weird's a pretty fitting description, almost as underwhelming as most tech responses to actual danger situations
30. Velvet Halo: airports are supposed to have people who notice planes flying around them
31. Taliaokaforxo: kinda glad the plane avoided that chaos what a close call lol 🚀
32. Bruno: airplanes and self-driving cars don't mix yet 🛩️
