Watch this video as a Tesla Robotaxi goes to drop off a passenger in Austin, and instead just hangs out in the middle of a busy street for 4 minutes, waiting for the passenger to get out onto the bustling 4-lane thoroughfare. Not a great look: Breaking Down the Breakdown So what’s going on here… […]

Robotaxi! It’s like a regular cab, but less safe.

Don’t worry, there’s even still a stranger sitting up front. That’s because it’s less safe.

Anyway, Tesla stock is trading up with 5 times the market cap of Uber and maybe 20 times the market cap of the Ford Motor Company, so mission accomplished.

    which is picking up passengers in the center of a busy 4-lane road

    I’d just cancel the ride if it wouldn’t come to me. I’m not walking into traffic to get to a taxi of any sort. Maybe that’s par for NYC or San Francisco, but I’m not doing it.

        Not normal in Chicago, either.

        It’s just janky Tesla stuff. You can see a Waymo negotiates the turn into the parking lot just fine.
