operating

So?

L5 autonomy.

Nobody has that yet.

China has quite a number of trains already. Arguably they overbuilt their train network as much of it is heavily underutilized.

Yes, operating. Words don't cut it. Tesla's been lying about their systems for years.

You're right in that I mistyped L4.

Anything but trains, subways, trams, or buses?

Tech won't solve traffic, proper investment into public transportation will. Investment in these startups should be funneled into self driving public transportation.

Did you even open your own link that a taxi in Japan lmao.

VW doesn't operate. They rather sell the cars that they build. So what's your problem with that?

The cars they sell are operational, champ.

Those cars also do not have L4 autonomy.

The only one who sells L4 to real people currently is Mercedes.

But holy shit a marvel of marketing. Better be a case study in business school. They had little to no actual implementation for years and years but are still the go-to name for autonomous driving and selling subscriptions to something that doesn't exist. Absolutely wild.

Tesla's robotaxi debut in Austin got people excited. But can the company compete on the global stage with Chinese AV giants like Baidu and Pony.ai?

Heavily underutilized for now.

China has a birthrate of 1.15 children per woman. When is this later time you allude to when there will be more people to utilize the heavily underutilized network?

690 million women in China, let's say 30% are in age to give birth, that's 207 million. If only 50% of those actually give birth in the next 5 years, that's a whooping 47.6 million kids per year.

Yeah, that population will climb, just not overnight.
