Imagine a taxi that can’t operate in the rain. That is what Tesla has delivered in Austin TX.
These riders learned that the hard way, but don’t have anything particularly negative to say about it… That’s the advantage of only making a Robotaxi service available to hand-picked Tesla influencers.

This is why most of the robotaxi testing is only in dryer fair weather areas. All of them have issues with precipitation.

Huh I never thought of that. Its a whole new engineering problem the ai wouldn’t be trained to handle the different coefficient of friction cos it would be so underrepresented in the training data. Not to mention how it inhibits vision and lidar.
