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?

Tesla even has the best data source for a control group in house: those of their customers who don't use autopilot.

They use identical cars with identical security features and Tesla has all the data. It would be trivial for them to compare those numbers.

As you say: there has to be a reason why they don't go for this extremely low hanging fruit.
