@MorningBrew the weird thing about one of the pictures y'all used in this AM's newsletter is that I recognized it from a trip 11 years ago.

@CLTWater is the water restriction over or does @BankofAmerica not have to follow the same rules as everyone else in the city? Seems to be a clear violation to me @CLTMayor @CLTgov @jd4clt @DimpleAjmera @Jamesworks4CLT @Watlington4CLT @DanteAnderson @SenatorMGraham @EdDriggsD7

Also ironic that @CMPD is at Trade and Tryon on a daily basis but the violation continues. Another in-your-face example of our police force being incapable of enforcing the simple laws that we already have.

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 @Hunt_Saenz @CltLedger @alexsands_ is it possible to do a records request? Only 16% of all reports have resulted in a violation. That seems pretty low... Wonder whos gotten a ticket and what the payment rate. Accountability is so incredibly low all around.

@Gfilche @DillonLoomis I used to LOVE Uber. Took my 1st ride when it was only black cars. Now I hope Tesla puts them out of business. Such shady practices these days. They have a strangle hold on the market enabled by subsidies through investor dollars piped.video/gnjVqeBoaqs?is=rxsC…

Ironically someone else did a similar video but highlighted Ubers shady insurance business. I know both publications have their issues, but still doesn’t negate the facts. I’ve driven for Uber before. Not sure how anyone makes money, unless it’s an EV piped.video/tLIgmEibBL0?is=17Mr…

@CMPD is incapable of the simple things. Enforcing traffic violations. Ironically I should have kept filming as another car turned left when they shouldn’t have. Why aren’t we enforcing the easy stuff. We now live in the Wild West. Zero accountability @CedarPosts @JoeBrunoWSOC9

And it’s not like there are no consequences to this. As @CltLedger pointed out this AM, there are 25K+ accidents a year. And this is for all the anti-Waymo/Tesla people. That’s a low bar to beat. Humans are terrible drivers.

No accountability for those breaking the law. Or any accountability for those that are supposed to enforce the law. I guess we should all just not follow the law. That’s the message that’s being sent. Do as you please. @Hunt_Saenz why is CMPD not enforcing anything? Need answers

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 are the @CLTWater restrictions over and they didn’t tell everyone else or is the city not capable of following their own rules? Looks like “decorative water features that do not support aquatic animal life” to me. Founders Hall and McColl Park @Hunt_Saenz

@_sullivn just saw your piece about water restrictions are still supposed to be in place. Can you figure out why the city isn't listening to their own guidance? From my understanding these fountains, that do not support life, are off limits. charlotteobserver.com/news/l…

@CltLedger can you help? Unfortunately the city doesn’t like to be held accountable without the assistance of real journalists.

Move over Waymo, looks like @Tesla is testing @robotaxi in Charlotte. 14 Cybercabs and 14 Model Ys with Texas plates! Sounds like employees are already driving around town testing out the service. @DillonLoomis @SawyerMerritt @JoeBrunoWSOC9 @Hunt_Saenz @CltLedger @ethanmckanna

Most Model Ys have backup camera washers. All Cybercabs have removable steering wheels. Largest CB VIN is 2145. They also have prototype/non-production models with the largest VIN of 3101 Hat tip to @drewinnovations through @KaineMcAlister post.

@DillonLoomis here is a shot of the steer wheel which you referenced in your video today. Looks like it can be “easily” removed. Was cool to hear you reference the article in @axioscharlotte and see my name on the screen!

@CMPD On my quick 10 min walk this AM, I saw a cop with no sirens ignore the no left turn sign, and 5-10 one wheels & scooters riding on the sidewalk. Have the cops chosen not to enforce any laws anymore? @CLTMayor @CLTCityCouncil @CLTgov @DimpleAjmera @DanteAnderson

Here another example. Guy zooms by me during lunch break and then continues to ride through the cross walk. Meanwhile I saw at least 4 police officers on my break, seemingly doing nothing. Is there something complicated about enforcing the law these days that I don’t understand?

Either it’s a law, and we enforce them, or it’s not worthy of being one and we delete it. What’s the point of having rules if no one is going to follow or enforce them? I guess we should all just pick and choose which laws we each want to follow, if any?

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 @Hunt_Saenz @CltLedger if y’all need more information about what this means, how it compares/differs from Waymo, I got you. This is my thing.

@DillonLoomis @SawyerMerritt wonder if its worth revisiting these lists of AI Safety Operators cities. With Charlotte and San Antonio Model Y and Cybercabs now located, safe to assume that Tesla is testing in some of these other cities too...
Tesla is currently hiring Robotaxi "AI Safety Operators" in 32 different metro areas that add up to one HALF the USA's population (148M people). This is the new "vehicle operator" position for their robotaxis. Below is a table of the job postings locations, and the corresponding populations.. $TSLA. Link in the comments
