Welcome back to my podcast blog! Ep 148 hops through Austin’s night scene via Robotaxi: We hit De Nada tacos → 456 cocktails → Texas BBQ. No driving, no parking—pure autonomy bliss. There’s also bonus content at the end of the video – you’ll come inside the Giga Texas factory lobby to see what is featured for tour groups.
Little mishap: We bought a special bottle of wine at the Royal Blue Grocery in East Austin, and accidentally left it at the Grocery. When we hopped into our Robotaxi we forgot about it. Later that night, we suddenly remembered it, so about an hour later we had our Model Y bring us back to Royal Blue... and the wine was still, there, on the patio, outside, no one had taken it!
I hope you’ll imagine you are here with me in the video for seamless rides, spotless interiors, and night vibes; jump to 00:31 where a human thanks the robotaxi (without realizing its a robot!) and 00:45 for driverless confirmation or 04:01 for a perfect pull-up to 456, and watch it drift off into the Austin night!
Night Out Breakdown
Kicked off at Rudy’s with Grace Alfar, summoning a white Model Y Robotaxi. Immaculate inside, sunset in Austin to De Nada for tacos. Quick hop to 456 for cocktails—handled traffic cones, crowds flawlessly.
BBQ finale via blue Robotaxi; navigated night streets, precise stops. Total freedom from parking hunts.
At 05:02, wrapping the night in a blue beauty (see below) —flawless rides all evening.
