Watch this video of Tesla’s Robotaxi, and let me know what you think: In a 22 minute drive, I saw: All told, these early rider videos are a mess. This isn’t beta testing. It’s stress testing… and the autonomous tech is failing the test. Broad Daylight, Clear Skies: It’ll Never Be Easier to Not Mess […]

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.

    Not great performance at all.

    That’s better than I was expecting to be perfectly honest.

    I’m pretty impressed with the technology, but clearly it’s not ready for field use.

      Yeah, it’s a few years away from being ready. Plus the dumb shits need to backpedal on this “cameras for everything!” idiocy.

      I’m surprised the taxis aren’t being driven remotely while Musk lies about their amazing AI or whatever.

        this “cameras for everything!” idiocy.

        That’s why I’m so impressed with how well it’s actually working. When they get off that really weird self-imposed restriction, it could be an interesting technology.
