Cybercab Cobblestone Road Test

Cybercab CRUSHES Brutal Cobblestone Road: 100+ Units Stand Ready

There has to be some emergency stop button.

Have you ever watched “Upload”? A comedy/drama on Prime. Cliff’s Notes: an early scene, a person is riding in an autonomous cab, someone hacks the controls and kills the targeted passenger via a crash. It had no way for a human to take over either.

These tech revolution videos all seem to be totally Elon pandering. They strike me as mostly AI, the graphics are terrible, the voice over is def computer generated and they have NO information about who they are or why they are posting.

The description on channel says coverage of apple, byd, rivian…but I see none of those in the video. Just all Elon hype.

Nothing is as exciting as Tesla! Well, maybe SpaceX!

This is what they say about themselves:

I got tired of the Tesla Bulls uTube podcasts and found Tech Revolution interesting but it seems they are mass producing their stuff. Anything to make a buck.

How to keep up with what Tesla is actually doning?

Cybercab cobblestone tests

GoogleAI:

Tesla has completed rigorous stress testing of over 100 Cybercab units on a specialized cobblestone road built at Giga Texas [1, 2]

Purpose of the test

The brutal cobblestone track serves as a specialized NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) evaluation course. Because the production-spec Cybercab completely removes traditional manual vehicle controls—lacking both a steering wheel and pedals—there is no onboard human driver to naturally detect or report strange cabin noises, component friction, or structural feedback. Tesla utilizes this highly uneven surface to amplify vibrations and uncover hidden manufacturing defects or acoustic resonances that would otherwise go unnoticed on a smooth city road. [1, 2, 3]

Broader testing context

This hardware stress testing coincides with Tesla expanding its autonomous validation program. Production-ready versions of the gold-colored, two-seat vehicle have progressed from closed factory tracks onto public streets in Austin, Texas. While early software platform mules used modified Model 3 or Model Y shells with temporary safety drivers, the current phase utilizes the true purpose-built robotaxi body architecture designed exclusively for driverless ride-hailing. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

I’d avoid YouTube altogether. Probably avoid video content in general. All that stuff is put together for the sole purpose of trying to drive engagement, not to communicate useful information on current Tesla events. They’re just trying to serve up whatever will confirm your existing opinions of the company - bull slop for people who want to hear about how awesome Tesla is, and bear slop for those who want a stream of negative stuff.

If anything meaningful actually happens with Tesla, it’s going to get reported by “print” sources. Written word articles. It’s so unlikely that anything material about Tesla might be publicly known that wouldn’t get an article in CleanTechnica or Teslarati (if you prefer a slightly more cheerleader-y perspective), there’s probably not much point in going beyond those types of sites.
