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.

I’d rather have a car that drives better than a typical cabby or uber driver.

Waymo has arguably been there for a while now. I’ll Uber outside of their coverage area, and take the autonomous car with in it. Every other Uber driver in my area is making late lane choices, tailgating, cutting people off, talking to me about how the world works, etc. The Waymos don’t do any of that shit.

Having experienced FSD, I can honestly say, Waymo’s LiDAR system is way better. It doesn’t do this terrifying shit.
