That’s a sure sign there is some over promising and under delivering going on.

Musk has staked Tesla’s future on self-driving vehicles he has promised for a decade but hasn’t delivered, making Austin’s robotaxi launch closely watched as a potential milestone. Some analysts and investors attribute the majority of Tesla’s stock market value to hopes for robotaxis and humanoid robots it has yet to deliver.
We’ve had Waymo and Zoox operating in town for years. Waymo started road testing here almost 10 years ago now. Tesla is so far behind on this it’s not even funny. I expect their cars to be subject to vandalism, also.

How odd

I hope nobody has to die to prove that Tesla is the worst company on Earth to entrust the lives of pedestrians and other motorists to.

Multiple people have died from glaringly obvious design flaws in Teslas already.

That’s like hoping to catch a train that already left the station.
Many people have already died in so many ridiculous ways, you wouldn’t be able to make it up.
Like drowning because you cant open the door! Or buning to death because you can’t open the door.
Because Tesla stupidly decided to hide the handle, to open the door manually, behind a panel.
But apart from this incredibly insanely stupid design flaw there is also this:

Melon Usk doomed their FSD efforts from the start with his dunning-kruger-brain take of “humans drive just using their eyes, so cars shouldn’t need any sensors besides cameras.”
Considering how many excellent engineers there are (or were, at least) at his companies, it’s kind of fascinating how “stupid at the top” is just as bad, if not worse, than “stupid all the way down.”
