I have no confidence that Tesla will fix this before the planned Robo-Taxi rollout in Austin in 2 weeks.

After all, they haven't fixed it in the last 9 years that self-driving Teslas have been on the road.

These accidents could be the dell knell for Tesla with the lawsuits that will follow

ok maybe this is easier to address: is there any safety test that a self driving Tesla doesn't fail?

They're very effective at preventing pregnancy and STIs.

They should throw in a loony tunes landscape for extra comedic value.

Elon is not going to personally take responsibility for his cars?

Listen. If we cared about safety we do something about it. This is where we are.

This is a fitting allegory for AI.

How the fuck, will this get the go ahead? In the US you can sue anyone for anything, how long before a class action gets filed against Tesla and their death traps?

Not unexpected.

It's a Tesla, so probably mistook the dummy for an immigrant. In other words: Within specs

Kid should have moved for the musk mutilater 2.00.

only a tesla could collide with the very road it's driving on

I get that's not what "hit the road" means but I stand by what I said

Waymo, which I think grew out of the original Google self-driving car project, has been operating robo-taxis for several years. They're available in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a few more cities. I wonder how they did on the schoolbus test. Not able to find anything online about that. They use different car manufacturers from China, UK, Germany, and it looks like one of them (Jaguar Land Rover) is owned or partly owned by Ford. So data about the individual cars is kind of hard to track down.

Atlanta is the latest launch city, they are all white Jaguar i-Paces.

They’re only following the Norm theory (rest in peace), helping us kill the dummies so as a specie we grow intellectually
