Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers
GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 15 hours agoWaymos were violating a Texas state law that requires cars to stop when a school bus stops, even in 2+ lane roads separated by a paved median, even for traffic going in the opposite direction:

The requirements for opposite side traffic in multi-lane roads is pretty rare and might be unique to Texas. And yes, human drivers fuck this up all the time, too, leading to a lot of PSAs in Texas, especially for new residents.

A couple of weeks ago a WAYMO Taxi drove through an active crime scene.
A bit ago they had to patch their tacos firmware to prevent them running down children (something you’d think they already would be programmed to do).
Passengers have reported being held hostage by their taxi when it stopped suddenly and refused to move.
There’s a laundry list of things that have been wrong with them. Some have had reasonable fixes (and some of those fixes should have been implemented before they were allowed on the road).
