Speaker 2: a moment. Thanks for being with us. It's the JB
Speaker 2: and Sandy Show. Hi. Today in Austin. We're hitting ninety two.
Speaker 2: When's it gonna get hot?
Speaker 3: I'd be happy if it stayed right here? Isn't that ridiculous?
Speaker 3: Be happy with ninety two?
Speaker 1: That's funny.
Speaker 4: You mentioned that I had a friend in town this
Speaker 4: weekend and he landed on Saturday morning at like nine am,
Speaker 4: and his son's checking out University of Texas and he's
Speaker 4: from Boston, and I got a text from him.
Speaker 1: We were going to connect when he got here.
Speaker 4: And I got a text from him.
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh my god, it's hot here. And
Speaker 1: this was at ten am. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: He was in line, in line at Joe's Coffee on
Speaker 4: South Congress, and I was like, if you're dying.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you are screwed.
Speaker 2: By two three pm, has he already accepted been accepted at.
Speaker 1: Ut or just chip poking around, poking around, poking around.
Speaker 1: It's his first choice. Boston's from Boston, not much of
Speaker 1: my college town. He wants to go to the School
Speaker 1: of Engineering.
Speaker 4: Oh at ut I guess it's it's pretty good. And
Speaker 4: I took them out on the lake. I said, here's
Speaker 4: the deal. Summers in Austin, you're either your you're indoors
Speaker 4: or on.
Speaker 1: You got to be on the water. You can't.
Speaker 4: Everything else is going to be miserable. So I took
Speaker 4: him out on the lake and we were we were
Speaker 4: driving through real slow through the no wake zone by
Speaker 4: the three sixty bridge, which has now become to hang out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, because it's a no wake zone now, and
Speaker 4: of course it's packed. And I kind of leaned over
Speaker 4: to his son and I said, you see, you see
Speaker 4: all these cute girls, I said, KINI season here starts
Speaker 4: in late March yep and goes almost to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: This is to a kid from Boston, right, And he
Speaker 1: just kind of lit up.
Speaker 4: Tell better have some game though, yeah, I said, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you said you might get real used to this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, good looking girls played a big part
Speaker 2: in college decisions for young men.
Speaker 1: Trust me. He's a big part the stories we love
Speaker 1: Live from.
Speaker 3: The Lester Holt Studios. It's Trisha Delicia. So yesterday was
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 5: Elon Musk posted on Twitter his Twitter account on Sunday
Speaker 5: that his new autonomous vehicle service launched yesterday afternoon. He
Speaker 5: said that for those people who were granted early access,
Speaker 5: which they were sent an invitation to be early access writers,
Speaker 5: that they could order a Tesla robotaxi for a flat
Speaker 5: rate of four dollars and twenty cents and go anywhere
Speaker 5: inside the offenced area in Austin.
Speaker 3: I don't know how long that.
Speaker 5: Will last, but there is an actual robotaxi app. It
Speaker 5: helps them figure out the kinks and stuff for the
Speaker 5: people who were invited for early access.
Speaker 3: They did also say that there will be.
Speaker 5: A safety monitor writing in all of the early access
Speaker 5: vehicle rides.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Interesting, Wait, robo robotaxi service. Is that what I want?
Speaker 3: There's a robotaxi app.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, okay, I'm going to get it. I saw
Speaker 1: one yesterday. How would you know if you got invited
Speaker 1: to early access though, he would have sent you.
Speaker 3: He would have sent you a note through Twitter.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you I don't know how you
Speaker 3: get that invitation.
Speaker 1: You know I didn't. I didn't even think of.
Speaker 4: Elon Musk totally undercut Uber and Lyft and just being
Speaker 4: cheaper and make a loss to just drive people to
Speaker 4: use the service and switch and then slowly creep it
Speaker 4: up but undercut them entirely.
Speaker 1: Yeow.
Speaker 4: And you know you're getting a new Tesla because I
Speaker 4: have ridden in some ride sharing cars and I'm like,
Speaker 4: how is this thing passing inspection?
Speaker 1: Inspection? Jeez? You know, yeah, I'm going I'm interested.
Speaker 2: I'm going to Nebraska in a couple of weeks to
Speaker 2: hang out with my dad while my mom, my sister,
Speaker 2: and my aunt go on a trip. And I'm going
Speaker 2: to do everything I can to convince my dad to
Speaker 2: buy a Tesla with the self with the self driving.
Speaker 1: He's eighty five.
Speaker 2: Years old, okay, Yeah, And I'm going to rip one
Speaker 2: and show it to him and then how it works,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to see if big A will buy one,
Speaker 2: because that way they can just he can just go
Speaker 2: wherever he wants to go and not.
Speaker 1: Have to drive.
Speaker 5: I just don't see your dad, of all people agreeing
Speaker 5: to that. He's so you know what I mean, he
Speaker 5: definitely is more technological, technologically savvy than some other people
Speaker 5: of his age, but he just takes him so long
Speaker 5: to make a decision, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying if I rent one for a
Speaker 2: couple of days and get in and show him the autopilot,
Speaker 2: that he'll he'll buy into it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Because he still wants people to do stuff, but he can't.
Speaker 2: He can't see as well as he used to and
Speaker 2: needs to. It's scary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and this is the solution, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be good for him.
Speaker 4: I mean, it makes sense that he's you know, digs technology.
Speaker 4: I mean, he used to fly the most sophisticated planes,
Speaker 4: right that he loves, you know, in his career, right.
Speaker 2: And he loves that type of stuff.
Speaker 3: It's just an autopilot in his car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, which would be pretty cool.
Speaker 4: So autopilot would make sense to a pilot more than
Speaker 4: anybody exactly, because they fly just totally on instruments sometimes, right,
Speaker 4: you don't even touch it.
Speaker 2: My daughter and I are talking about getting our pilot's license,
Speaker 2: are starting the process of doing it.
Speaker 1: It's cool, though, what do you mean what it.
Speaker 3: Could crash fall out of the sky.
Speaker 5: I feel like I hear every day about small planes
Speaker 5: that are crashing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you never see anything about cars crashing the
Speaker 1: same thing.
Speaker 5: You're just adding another element of crash ability to your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You guys think that the price is a some sort
Speaker 2: of marijuana reference.
Speaker 3: I thought that too, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe could be. But so those are out rolling around
Speaker 1: their geo fence to downtown. I saw one yesterday.
Speaker 4: I was turning off a Congress onto Woodland and I
Speaker 4: saw a Tesla coming right at me. So, like when
Speaker 4: you see the waymos or the toyotas that are they're
Speaker 4: testing now, like there's a million things standing around.
Speaker 1: It is it's like it's an alien car, right, I
Speaker 1: feel like it should be going.
Speaker 2: Whoop who like yeah, wicking noises.
Speaker 4: And the Robotaxi I only noticed because they were coming
Speaker 4: at me and I didn't see a driver in it,
Speaker 4: and it looked like a Tesla's Tesla model Y. And
Speaker 4: then on the side it's it's a very small logo
Speaker 4: that says Robotaxi. It's it's not a big billboard. I
Speaker 4: kind of like that. It's a little more class.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because the weaimos or people are like, look a waymo,
Speaker 5: because it's all the stuff on it is crazy.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's a little bit less understated with
Speaker 3: the ROBOTAXI.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they look like a normal clu. It looks much more. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it just looks like if and that logo is small.
Speaker 4: You just casually so I want to get one. I
Speaker 4: just downloaded the app now that you mentioned it. I'll
Speaker 4: try to get one here this week or something.
Speaker 3: And is it Weimo through Uber?
Speaker 5: So you don't even know if you can't order a
Speaker 5: weaymos specifically, you just order something on.
Speaker 3: Uber and you might get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you may or may not get one. I haven't
Speaker 1: got one yet. Oh, it's just so a little article.
Speaker 1: Did I get invited?
Speaker 2: No? I didn't.
Speaker 1: I thought.
Speaker 2: Really excited. If I got invited, that'd be cool. Invited
Speaker 2: by Elon himself
