That is so awesome!
Can I drive it?
Tesla is providing all the driving AI upgrades at zero cost. There is no driver for the bus as I understand it. That space (drivers seat) is being used for a workingPDP-11.
Yes, in fact we do have the driverless option and our idea was to have docents follow behind the vehicle in a period appropriate Pinto. However Corey squashed that idea because of liability reasons. Since it's electric we can use the batteries to run the exhibits. The bus will shut down the computers and kick the kids out when the batteries get low so it can still make it home.
