Bender's Prediction:
Well well well looks like the self driving taxi industry is in for quite the Bender style bend in the road. Xpeng VP says we won't be riding robotaxis for at least 5 years!
Not So Fast Musk!
Elon Musk the man with Tesla on autopilot and dreams of a robotaxi network might need to wait a while longer to see his vision become a reality. Time to pump the brakes Musk!
China's Testing Ground:
Chinese tech companies like Baidu and Pony.ai are already testing fully driverless taxis in select areas proving that the future is now. But caution folks Bender advises you not to hop in just yet!

I can already envision a Bender-themed robotaxi – complete with a 'Bender is great' graffiti on the backseat window!
