  Probably because robotaxi is written on the side of it. Clearly a warning to other drivers, to avoid accidents.
  It’s like having that “learner” sign most countries have on cars for people learning to drive.

    Or every bad driver in California. I see those stickers on cars being driven by 50 year olds.

      You know a 50 year old can be a student driver, right?

        God, my wife right there. Started driving at 50 and she scares the shit out of me.

      I mean… most people I know with learner’s permits don’t have their own cars. It’s probably their parents’ car and somebody just forgot to take the sign off while the learners aren’t driving or it’s permanently adhered.

      That 50-year-old is still shaking from letting their kid drive to school, and is now going to work where they’ll dread going back to pick their kid up and let them drive home. Or maybe a few more practices in empty parking lots first… Which are fucking hard to find by the way, they’re all full of cars!

      Yeah what is up with that? There are so many of those stupid stickers lately. There is no way so many cars are being driven by student drivers. I told my kids that when they’re learning to drive in a few years, there’s no fucking way I’ll put one on my car.

    But I would 100% be allowing it to hit me if we are going slow enough that my car could be damaged enough and then sue the shit out of Tesla.

      I was gonna say, ram that fucker and sue. Be funny if people started a trend.

      “It blew a red light and stopped in the middle of the intersection!”

      That’s a slam dunk against a human driver.

  So many people in Austin drive well BELOW the speed limit that you end up wishing you were on the West or East Coast again doing 20MPH over every time you drive.

  It’s not even a Texan thing, it’s JUST a ridiculous Austin thing.
