Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day (fuelarc.com)

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.

Wow that turn signal sound is annoying. Why does it even need to make a sound in a car that’s supposed to be driving itself?

Important feedback for the passenger to ensure the car is actually following the rules. I would freak out at a corner if I couldn't tell the car was signaling.

The rider shouldn't have to care.

Naturally, simply being in a "self-driving" Tesla is reason enough to worry.
