I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:

Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process. Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on. Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.

And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.

I don't understand the complaint. I mean given their track record, with a system like this, they wouldn't be on the road.

You know, unless it all worked.

    That's my point. Tesla (the company) has been notorious for pushing forward their deadly "self-driving" technology. It's one of the worst automated systems on the planet, with plenty of tests, reports, and real-world incidences to raise red flags all over the place.

    They SHOULD NOT be on the road, so are they only on the road because Musk was able to influence someone?

    You seem really invested in making sure Teslas are off the road, but not at all interested in regulation that would keep all dangerous autonomous vehicles off the road. So... do you work for BMW, or Waymo?

    Tesla vehicles are specifically singled out, because as far as I know, they are the only autonomous vehicle that uses cameras instead of Lidar.

    And the Tesla company has a habit of cover ups, falsifying or manipulating crash data, and fraud.

    I don't trust any autonomous car on public roads, but some are considerably more trustworthy than Teslas.

    FWIW, you can buy robot vacuums for your home with more advanced object detection than a robotaxi. 🫤
