This Tesla Robotaxi demo video is a mess. Watch as the car makes a left turn from the wrong lane, ignoring a red light. The safety operator steps in, and the car comes to a stop… right in the middle of the intersection. Eventually, it completes the illegal turn after blocking traffic for 45 seconds, which raises the question, what exactly is the safety operator there for?

So I think the only button he operator has was the kill switch. Instead the operator should have a second button to report an error or something, without causing the car to do a full stop.

    Stopping might have still been a better result than turning in front of incoming traffic though

    This was not turning into incoming traffic. Did you even watch the video?

    Did you even read the comment? I said "in front of" (as in perpendicular to) not "into".

    That is EXACTLY what this car was trying to do. Take a second to read things properly before you comment maybe.
