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?

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.
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.

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.
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.

What exactly does honking accomplish though?

I generally agree with hank
I also agree with General Hank

Impressive in the most literal sense. Indeed.
A truck ran over me
It left an impression

I know but in my area people will be pissed and be honking not that I agree but I’m surprised how calm people are with this nonsense of being live beta tester.

Waking up the safety operator perhaps.

Stopping might have still been a better result than turning in front of incoming traffic though
This was not turning into incoming traffic. Did you even watch the video?

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.
It's funny that nobody who follows influencers refers to themselves as an "influencee".

Ha ha. Guess what a car going 25 mph does to a bicyclist or a pedestrian?

As a RADAR guy I have to say they need RADAR, but I might be biased. I suppose LIDAR would be nice too. There's something called sensor fusion where you combine the measurements of different sensors, ideally using different technologies to get better measurements.
Fun fact: horseshoe crabs have like nine different types of eyes. Even that tail is one big photoreceptor. Sensor fusion is new technology - it's only been around for 400 million years.

And radar is dirt cheap. Toss a radar module (or two!) under the hood, watch as your cars stop plowing into stuff in the frontal plane of movement. It's automation so simple that even Hyundai gets it right.
And radar is dirt cheap.
Even by the middle of WWII, radar had been made so cheap that they (the US at least) were putting radar devices into artillery shells. The idea that 80+ years later radar is cost-prohibitive for fucking cars is ludicrous.

While the person honking probably doesn't intend it that way, it gives a warning to others who can't see it yet to be careful, because something unusual is happening.

I didn't see anything about the motionless vehicle almost hitting a pedestrian or a bicyclist.

Another word for an individual: 'data point'
Data point collection.

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%.
What's the reasoning behind CVTs being the only non-manual transmissions you'd consider?
They lack the nice feel of manuals and the reliability of modern automatics. Have you tried an 8HP or 9G-Tronic? Either one will last you a long time and shift so smooth during relaxed driving that you can't tell it's going through gears.

I had a Honda with a CVT and it was pretty bulletproof. Never skipped a beat.
