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?

It didn't just "Run a red light", it downright attempted a left turn in a lane meant to drive straight through. They're just lucky that the incoming traffic was stopped when it happened or they might have been t-boned.

    What exactly does honking accomplish though?
