Hey you know what, lets just throw a million or more of these things into the real world right now. The sooner we can rack up the body count the sooner we can get grifters to scream into the zeitgeist about government control or whatever. Idk let tesla fuck up their value and live in infamy
As dumb as this tech is in its current state, it still seems safer to me than human drivers. So far they've had very few accidents. Human drivers will do a dangerous maneuver to get in front of you then at the red light they'll get out of the car and try kick your ass.

This Tesla Robotaxi demo video is a mess.
Watch as the car makes a left turn from the wrong lane, ignoring a red light. The safety operator steps in, and the car comes to a stop… right in the middle of the intersection.
Eventually, it completes the illegal turn after blocking traffic for 45 seconds, which raises the question, what exactly is the safety operator there for?

Thanks to whoever wrote "raises the question" instead of the commonly used yet incorrect "begs the question".

Impressive, I have always wanted to die in a car accident thanks Tesla!

It can be impressive and also still not be very good.
Impressions are like dents left in the hood from the impact of pedestrians.

If the most relevant way to describe someone is "influencer". Then everyone influenced by them is a moron. They are just a mega moron. It's a safety hazard any of these vehicles are allowed on the road. Let alone, driving autonomously with no actual intelligence on board.
Another word for an individual: 'data point'

Stopping might have still been a better result than turning in front of incoming traffic though
Its good Tesla gave the safety officers have the tools they need to keep things safe...
Or not.

I dont have an issue with any of them except tesla. I dont trust their "camera only" method on top of their phantom braking and acceleration, plus whatever else can fail and prevent you from getting out of the car

I'm curious about this distinction. What's the difference between "raises" and "begs"?

Safety operator was trying to eliminate the witness.

yeah Tesla is by far the worst of all the brands.

Not related to self driving, but other shitty car design.
I had a Nissan with a CVT before it was widely known they were garbage. I hit the brakes to avoid someone that ran a red, and the CVT went in to some protection mode and left me and my family stuck in the middle of the intersection for 2 entire light cycles before it'd move again.
Dealership just kept saying it's fine and it was protecting the CVT from damage after going from throttle to brake quickly. I don't give a fuck about the CVT, I care about the squishy bits inside the cabin.
After it did that again and the power windows stopped working the same day, I traded it in for a Mazda with a proper transmission. 248k miles later it's still great.

Raising a question means what you think it does. Bringing up a question which is a natural consequence or follow-up to a previously stated point.
The original meaning of begging the question is quite different and is a form of circular argument where the premise of an argument already assumes its conclusion is correct.

Nissan CVT has had its fair share of bad press, but CVTs in general are good to go, and more specifically, Toyota's CVT is a good piece of gear. I don't doubt your story, but it's got me real curious about what the issue is. I can't imagine a scenario where hard braking somehow disables the car, but I know "safety features" in abundance are a thing.

Damn shame that CVTs are so janky because it's the only non-manual transmission I'd consider. But reliable CVTs that don't do fake shifts are hard to come by.
The eCVT in my wife's Ford C-Max is an absolute dream. It's so smooth and helps the car take off much faster from a stop than my 350Z, despite having 100 less BHP. Nothing beats the feeling you get from immediate torque when you don't have to wait for the revs to build. Problem is that it also has a 75% failure rate after 100K miles. She's at 120K now and it's still going strong, so she was in the lucky 25%.

Must also be pretty hard on the tires

Can't say I've noticed a difference. The tires wear at a normal rate. The traction and stability systems are very good in this car, despite it being over a decade old at this point. Wheel spin is well-controlled.

It didn't just "Run a red light", it downright attempted a left turn in a lane meant to drive straight through. They're just lucky that the incoming traffic was stopped when it happened or they might have been t-boned.
How come nobody honk? Are they used to this nonsense already?

Yeah they apparently ran some scans on the transmission and everything checked out.
The 2nd time I drove straight back to the dealership since I was nearby and they scanned again without shutting the car off and still showed no issue. All I know is it'd act like it was in neutral for about 2 minutes. Then it'd barely creep forward even at 4000 rpm. Going to park and back to drive didn't help. Restarting the car didn't help. After about 10 minutes of slowly getting better, it'd be back to normal.

They also have very few cars. There's like 10 or so of these robotaxis. If you grab 10 human taxi drivers and follow them around for a few months, you'd also expect them to have on average 0 accidents.

I like that homeboy was just like "Have a safe ride" and dude responds " we will" or some shit. Like you (tesla) just stuck us in the middle of an intersection making an illegal turn after missing where to pick us up by a block and we've been in the car for less than a minute. Don't tell us to have a safe trip, promise me we are going to get somewhere safely at that point.
At least he didn't promise that the ride brings you to a better place.
