Some vs. Any

《爱》

我爱你
不光因为你的样子
还因为
和你在一起时
我的样子

我爱你
不光因为你为我而做的事
还因为
为了你
我能做成的事

我爱你
因为你能唤出 我最真的那个部分
我爱你
因为你穿越我心灵的旷野
如同阳光穿透水晶般泳衣
我的杀气、我的弱点
在你的目光里几乎不存在
而在我心底最美丽的地方
却被你的光芒照得通亮

别人都不曾费心走那么远
别人都觉得寻找太麻烦
所以没人发现过我的美丽
所以没人到过这里

歌词：
有多久没见你
以为你在哪里
原来就住在我心底
陪伴着我的呼吸
有多远的距离
以为闻不到你气息
谁知道你背影这么长
回头就看到你

At a Hollywood studio this October, Tesla unveiled its long-awaited robotaxi, though fans of the electric vehicle maker will have to wait until at least 2026 before it is available.

CEO Elon Musk pulled up to a stage in one of the company's "Cybercabs," telling the crowd that the AI-powered vehicles don't have steering wheels or pedals.

He also expressed confidence in the progress the company has made on autonomous driving technology that makes it possible for vehicles to drive without human intervention.

Tesla began selling the software, which is called "Full Self-Driving," nine years ago. But there are doubts about its reliability.

"We'll move from supervised Full Self-Driving to unsupervised Full Self-Driving, where you can fall asleep and wake up at your destination," he said.

Tesla expects the Cybercabs to cost under $30,000, Musk said. He estimated that the vehicles would become available "before 2027."

The company also expects to make the Full Self-Driving technology available on its popular Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in Texas and California next year.

However, shares of Tesla Inc fell not long after the unveiling — investors don't see a clear timeline for the rollout of the Cybercabs, while other companies are already using similar technology.

"Tesla yet again claimed it is a year or two away from actual automated driving — just as the company has been claiming for a decade," Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina law professor who studies automated vehicles, told The Associated Press.

Tesla's announcement comes as US safety regulators are investigating Full Self-Driving and Autopilot based on evidence that it has a weak system for making sure human drivers pay attention.

Last April near Seattle, a Tesla using Full Self-Driving hit and killed a motorcyclist, authorities said. The Tesla driver told authorities that he was using the system while looking at his phone when the car hit the motorcyclist from behind.
