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.

What real world problem does this solve?

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Actually, lots. The issue is that if it doesn't work it's dangerous.

Task automation

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is it really task automation if it does it worse than a drunk human could have done it?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I didn't claim Tesla has solved this automation problem.

Waymo is closer to human levels, but not yet considerably better.

Nothing that a train + scooter / bicycle cannot solve imo
