I'm reading the comments about this video, and I think people are missing the point.

It's not about the Telsa running into the kid. It's about the Tesla completely ignoring the FLASHING FUCKING STOP SIGN at the side of the bus, which resulted in it hitting the kid dummy.

This could have been a pedestrian crossing, railroad stop, intersection, etc.

These vehicles aren't "smart" and should not be allowed on the road. Any idiot can have greater awareness than a Tesla.

It's fine, they'll fix these issues in time for the robotaxi rollout ten years from now.

What's that? They're planning on launching the robotaxis at the end of this month? Well then.

That's pretty good, they're fairly small targets.

If I worked at Tesla, I would very much be doing a crappy job and slipping bad ideas into what looks like good code. The Lord's work.

Didn’t I just read this like a few weeks ago? But there’s a Jun 15 date in the article. So did this happen again?

Well there is the problem right there, FSD shouldn't be doing these tests in the first place! How else is Tesla supposed to get their amazing cyber taxi out of it has to follow all these dumb rules?

Pretty normal for a Tesla.

Sounds like a typical driver in the US

Great, they've invented Christine.

Hell yeah

That's fine because those were non fascist kids

I'll give you my uneducated findings: self driving cars are not ready.

I doubt they will ever be really ready, they'll eventually be considered "ready enough" no software will always work without flaws. When that software controls a car a minor flaw might mean 20 deaths.

I’ve seen some comments elsewhere about how it can be trusted.

Edit; like really straight up trusted. The delusion is unreal.

Here in Austin, both Waymo and Zoox have already hit the streets with very little fanfare and no incidents I'm aware of. Not only is Musk's technology inferior, but even if it worked well, what would make his service any better than the two existing services?

He has made a serious mistake hyping "robotaxis" as the future of Tesla, because:

• He has direct competition that's already more successful than his service.
• Those competitors are funded by Google and Amazon, who have diverse revenue streams and could undercut Tesla until Tesla breaks.
• He has created impossibly high expectations from investors with a hard cutoff that's next week.
• He's looking to operate this service in cities, where 90% of people hate him personally.
• He's dependent on those cities to allow him to operate, and they'll revoke his permits the second there's an incident.
• Elon has demonstrated himself to be such an awful human being that his vehicles are likely to be subject to vandalism, dramatically increasing his costs.

I think Tesla is absolutely fucked as a company. If I had the money, I'd short Tesla stock like a motherfucker.

This feels like they're just training them to kill kids now.
