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.

Still, I am surprised how well they are doing, using only cameras.

schrieb am 23. Juni 2025, 21:33 zuletzt editiert vonDepends. I had this perpetually angry cabby a few months back that when I asked him to slow (son has autism, partially verbal). Not only did he not slow down, he sped up and this was in a snowstorm on the highway. Nothing I could do, if I said anything he went faster.
Had a Dr appt so I could do nothing once we were out of that cab. I complained later and best cab co would do is “not send that cab” again. -

Disregard that humans don't perform well in fog or rain or generally anything that isn't good weather and also disregard that to match our eyes' resolution you'd need extremely high resolution cameras that produce way too much data for current computers and also disregard that most of the stuff isn't happening in our eyes but in our brains and also disregard that the point that is usually being made to advocate for self driving cars is that they should be better than humans!
