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.

Expecting people to be able to behave like machines is generally the attitude that leads to crash investigations.

    Behave like machines? Wtf are you on about? It's paying attention and preventing accidents. Like a train conductor does. Or a lifeguard. Or a security guard. I get the tesla hate, but this is ridiculous.

    Lifeguards have very short periods of diligence before they take mandatory breaks in an extremely controlled environment. Train conductors operate on grade separated infrastructure. Security Guards do not have to take split second action or die.

    Putting a warm body in a mind-numbing situation and requiring split second response to a life or death situation at a random time is a recipe for failure.

    Well, put the drivers on a similar mandatory break schedule. Done.
