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.

I knew I was better than a Tesla. I actually got my Class A for driving a school bus. I can legally drive pretty much anything on wheels, because the school bus pretty much requires everything. Even hazardous material training. Just in case the government needs to use a school bus to offload nuclear waste or something. I just like to think the kids are toxic. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When I worked with kids, there were a lot of biohazards. Mostly shit, snot, and piss, but on a bus you'll probably get a fair bit of puke too. I'm guessing the driver has to clean the bus.

I'm wondering if maybe it was just your driving style

You have to have hazmat to drive a school bus?!?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Just some minor training associated with it. I do not actually have a hazmat endorsement; it's literally just a special thing for school buses because they are allowed to be used to transport such material in an emergency.

But the training would make it rather easy to obtain the endorsement, if I really wanted it (I do not tho).
