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.
I always have the same thought when I see self driving taxi news.
“Americans will go bankrupt trying to prop up the auto/gas industries rather than simply building a train”.
And it’s true. So much money is being burned on a subpar and dangerous product. Yet we’ve just cut and cancelled extremely beneficial high speed rail projects that were overwhelmingly voted for by the people.
