In the USA, the regulations are made up and the points don’t matter.

    It’s already dangerous enough walking or biking in my city with bad drivers.

    I just want nice sidewalks, bike lanes, and good public transportation.

    The classic Elon’s iterative in production approach. Let it run in production and when an “error” happens, let’s try it few more times, then try to correct it and repeat.

    And this is why Tesla is a danger to everyone INCLUDING the people who could actually be saved by real, well-tested, extremely safe autonomous vehicles like Waymo et al.

    TESLA IS NOT AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

    ACTUAL AUTONOMOUS DRIVING IS SAFER THAN HUMAN DRIVERS

    Fuck fuck fuck I hate this timeline so much. We could be saving lives but NOOOOOO we get this bullshit instead

    If Musk were, hypothetically, to give me a Cyber Truck, I’d let them make a big deal out of it. You know. Full stage, everything. Get in and drive off.

    Only I’d put it into FSD mode and let it run him over on my way out.

      What are the odds that fsd recognizes musks face and prioritizes his survival over yours? Swerve right into that nearby tree!

      Reminds me of xitter changing its algorithm to boost musk’s tweets when he took over.

        Probably pretty high, but also there’s an equally high chance it was programmed with vibe coding and has the opposite effect

    Tesla’s FSD needs to be made illegal on the state level. Call your local state senator and alderman.

    In my city, we’ve had Waymo running for quite awhile, and there were definitely growing pains, but it seems to be doing alright, with no incidents I’m aware of in recent months. Tesla has announced their imminent entry into our market, and not only is their technology just blatantly not ready for prime time, but their business model is broken, because my city tilts progressive by a significant margin, and everyone here hates Elon Musk. There was even a previously success Tesla-only ride share operation run by a 3rd party that recently went out of business here. Tesla as a cab service is totally fucked financially, is my point, in addition to just being totally fucked

      Also what makes cities absolute hell for combat makes them great for tossing a Molotov cocktail at random cars. Seriously there’s no victim and unlike Waymo folks have already started burning Teslas.

    This is horrifying. Sadly, it will take this to bring the Tesla self driving fleet down to what eventually happened with the Cyber Truck.

    Are the Tesla robo-taxis using the same camera-based technology as the production cars?

      First iteration appear to be Tesla Model Ys. No word on additional sensors, so I am guessing the answer is no.

        It looks like you’re right.

        An interesting point made in the article:

        The NHTSA’s autonomous car regulators suffered layoffs after the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency cuts targeted that team, the Washington Post reported.

        What could possibly go wrong?

          The whole point of DOGE was to tear down any department that was blocking him from doing stupid shit or investigating the stupid shit he has already done. Meanwhile, getting work done in the government is a disaster now. I contract with the public sector, and don’t get me wrong things have always been inefficient. Now that’s cranked to 11. Everyone who knew what they were doing took the buyout and left.
