Robotaxi Drives Double the Speed Limit, Hits Speed Bumps at Full Speed… Tesla Influencers Describe It as "Excellent."

And I am looking forward to what they actually gonna charge. But I'd prefer it being shut down by some agency

There is a reason why they are doing it in Texas…

Yeah I just hope muskrat might have lost support from Trump and the agencies can go after him. I can imagine there are some people really motivated now to go after musk and all his shit after what he did to the agencies with doge. He didn't make friends there. I'd do fuckin extra hours for free if they would let me investigate his companies

Everything is bigger in Texas... But especially the political donations. I'm sure no one forgets Elon maxing out his donation in his own name to Senator Cornyn (formerly state attorney general) and various other officials.

The porn star "safety monitor" at the end gave me a chuckle.

NHTSA is only investigating the June 22 issues with Robotaxi because someone videoed them and others talked about it. You can bet Tesla didn't report the lane violations, and they are likely under no need to report them; after all there was no crash. But NHTSA is concerned about bad driving as well. So perhaps they need to investigate by taking some trips on Robotaxi, following them, or mandating a report for every violation of traffic laws.

Didn't know about that. Such a failed democracy, the USA are. Fuck it. Probably needs a real accident. Sadly people will get hurt first, otherwise nobody will shut it down

Ironically, the "give invitations to our online influencer base" play is backfiring... because those influencers make money by the click or minute-viewed, and so they need to create TONS of video content. They are posting EVERYTHING. No amount of positive narration makes traffic violations into non-traffic violations.

Tesla fans: “why would they put a speed bump there?”

"grok, is this true?"

Cheering on a soulless company that has no regard for public safety …people have died in these cars.

They were all in love with dyin'?

So paid shills say it’s all good. I’ll bet that there are Ts and Cs that state that regular riders won’t be able to post videos or comment publicly without fear of litigation from Tesler. Unfortunately someone is going to die after this is open to the public

It's shaky enough that I'm not sure it'll make it to the "open to public" part before causing a death.

Cults are fun!

I think Lieutenant Governor Paxton is expected to primary Cornyn.

Of course they do. The brainwash is complete. Or else, if any of those Tesla influencers are even real or not paid for by Elon Musk.

Those issues were there a year ago when they gave me a month of free FSD. If I let it do it's thing in my neighborhood it would have killed someone or their dog. My roads are 15, not 45, and we have 5mph bumps it can't see. Took all of 20ft for my test drive to laugh at how bad things were back then.

I took a single turn out of a Tesla dealership, activated FSD, and was like "OH DEFINITELY NOT" and took control after maybe 2 stop lights. It... cannot... reliably... *see.* The visualization on the center console shows you what it is seeing, and it was missing vehicles and lane lines all over the place. If I wanted to drive that badly, I would shotgun a bottle of wine and then drive myself.

Tesler can have no fault! Austin is flawed. Roads are flawed. Infrastructure is flawed. /s

Influencer? You mean Paid Shill.

> Tesla Influencers Describe It as "Excellent." it's because of the Kool-Aid !

"this koolaid tastes AWESOME - i didn't know it even came in almond flavor!"

Farzad is a typical Elong soy boy beta doosh. Why would you imagine he will have unbiased opinion?

Nice.

Yes.. Texas is fine with road murder, and toxic waste/debris falling down on citizens (SpaceX) as long as Abbot and his cronies get bribed.

Maybe they didn't *notice* the speed limits and speed bumps when they mapped out the trial area?

Lol i don’t think tesla is actually going to roll it out to the general public anytime soon

Including the amount of school children that it’s run over

im pretty sure at this point they could hurt somebody badly or kill them and they would still get away with it.

Influencers just don't want to be sued by the big manchild

Still better than that dragon space ship. Everything Elon touches turns to shit now. Too much Trump time

The bribes seem to be bigger in Florida, frankly.

Concerning

Why would they let actual people ride? Just string it along until September 1 then say the regulators shut them down. As long as they have no horrible accidents before then the stock keeps its value.

The introductory rate for any distance is: **$4.20** Source: reported on Bloomberg radio yesterday.

Where you are allowed to die of anything except marijuana for some reason.

If a Robotaxi commits an illegal manoeuvre that would normally result in a person getting a ticket - who is getting the fine now? Tesla? Elon? The safety driver? The rider? Do they have demerit points in Texas? How many can Robotaxi accumulate before its licence is suspended? I guess this is true for Waymo too. I’m genuinely curious.

wow, how these Elmo Bros talk. Are they real? "fix this, fix that".... Elmo delivered a prototype product again.

Looking into it

I'm not convinced these cars aren't being driven remotely.

And this is *with* an operator in the car. Are they driving HAL9000? Or is the AI based on Christine?

They were doing it in Texas … *I don’t mind the sun sometimes* *The images don’t show* *I can’t see with my sensors* *And won’t stay on the road*

Yeah, somebody posted a video from a couple of influencers who were both on their third ride and when the Robo taxi went to drop them off, it stopped with half the car hanging out into the intersection. And they responded of course that it was all great and fine.These guys are crazy.

I’m hoping Tesla is financially insolvent and gone into receivership at that point, with Elon (forcefully) being sent back to South Africa for breaking immigration laws as a student, and then again lying about it when he became a citizen. Maybe that’s why he’s changed his tune- Old Orangehole may have threatened to revoke his citizenship.

Them Musk boys are at it again!

Oh come on, catching air from a speed bump in a car you don't own is awesome!

So they should test in Australia then, because Texas is fucking tiny.

I think I saw that video -- they were SO relaxed getting out of a taxi, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of an intersection. Totally bananas. I would be furious if an Uber dropped me off \*in\* an intersection.

The marvel is not that *the bear dances well*, but that the bear dances at all.

> what they actually gonna charge Walls, wildlife, other cars, pedestrians… There is nothing it won’t charge at full speed.

Hey isn't this video the same fanboys from the day before that were dropped off at a very odd location of an intersection, and the robotaxi just stood there for about half a minute afterwards with its tail sticking out into a lane of the oncoming traffic? To those gentlemen, I say keep these coming! You are the media 😛

Trashla when contacted tweeted at 4 20 am in the night It just a bump in pur journey

“Speed bumps are woke”

bait used to be believable

If you need to make a political argument to sell a taxi service, you probably don't have a very good taxi service.

>The point is Tesla has a neuronet that is able to learn from its mistakes and that means no Tesla will ever make the same mistake again once it is has been corrected lol >"Many times, when the driver went past the crash location in the left lane, the Tesla would steer left toward the gore point area and he would have to manually take control to stay within the left lane," the NTSB documents stated. >"The family explained that it happened so often that he had told both his brother and his wife about the problem," it added. >The man even attempted to show his family how the car steered left when they passed the location once, the documents said. They apparently have a "neuronet"(lol) that is as retarded as you are.

I can't believe this is being treated as a real product launch when it's obviously just fraud.

>You people just don't like progress This is a scam not progress.

No more koolaid for this guy

Elongobblers

Real question: if a cop catch a robotaxi speeding, who pays the fine?

Tesla! There's a safety operator in the vehicle, so it's not even too hard. Watching Waymos get fined is sort of funny by comparison.

Sure, but Waymo has been dancing their ass off for years. That they have more sensors to do it doesn't make it less impressive. I've heard so many people say "oh but you can buy the same Model Y and it will be able to robotaxi, you can't buy a Waymo car" But like really? Even if Tesla makes FSD actually work on their current Model Y, Juniper (which is a humongous IF). It's not like they couldn't sell the Waymo car. It's obviously street legal, and it can be manually driven. What exactly is impressive in that? If anything it's a huge gamble because if they learn that they need Z new hardware to shore up a limitation/problem this test uncovers then no current Tesla will ever get real FSD without a retrofit, and that is assuming it could be retrofit.

He is a fkn child.

Yup, the best part was afterwards then the Tesla didn’t move even though there was space for it and it looks like the “ chaperone” had to contact support to get the vehicle to get moving again.

Well, in my understanding is they use totally different types of sensors which is why Waymos successfully stop and don’t run into things whereas FSD doesn’t always make the correct decisions and runs into an object objects. I think a lot of these Tesla nuts are super excited because they think that they’re going to be able to rent their Teslas out as taxis in between when there’s no way they’ll ever be deemed safe enough

Tesla is far from a leader in AI and robotics lmao. Also isn't their solar division basically dead at this point?

You say potato, I say potayto…

$4.20 flat rate.

Eiffel tower is 330 meters high and was built in 1889. Yet in 2023 Tesla can't assemble steel plates and we're supposed to believe they have a "neuronet". Big laugh

Yes right now. But that is never gonna be the real price. Its impossible to charge 4.20$ for a 50 mile ride once its open to public. It just shows that they have absolutely no clue of pricing.

Nonsense! Everything is computer!

Elon fanboys are different kind of breed.

Not only that, but there’s also too many influencers. I don’t mind if they want to thin their own Herd.

Hey man, even a flatworm has one

Saving the world. Good one.

There is this guy on YouTube his name is AIDriver or something. God, he is so insufferable in his condescending way of speaking and glazing over Tesla, it is literally insane.

You can say it on live TV if you’re the president

Elon is a lying scumbag. Only a sucker would believe his hype now. Go reflect on that.

I'd suspect that with Trump's short attention span he's already mostly forgotten about Musk and is focused on simultaneously destroying Iran and pursuing a Nobel Peace Prize for not going to war with Iran. Musk had ample time to install his flavor of lackeys in various positions that will feign allegiance to Trump and simply further Musk's goals.

>The visualization on the center console shows you what it is seeing This isn't true.

You can be impressed with both Tesla and Waymo. This isn't politics or a football game.

Dude, it's called puts on the stock. A regular crash will be - 10% A crash with injuries or pedestrian involved - 20% A fatality where the robotaxi is responsible for the crash - 30% if you really want to gamble on stuff like that is up to you my friend

Absolutely, it's just strange being marvelled at something that we've seen done for years. I'm not impressed by Tesla here. I was 5 or so years ago but really feel they've squandered their advantage and now I see nothing of substance, only marketing and hype.

Do we have a link to original video? If it was done on Sunday, that is not a school day so the lights would not be flashing.

Hey I'll have you know the eiffel tower was built by hand, super inefficient, teslers are mostly mass produced by machines, super efficient, it's progress you Libby's wouldn't understand */S*

Reddit deleted my comment lmao

Weird, happens to me sometimes as well. I even got banned for spreading hatred when I criticized tesla. The I opened a ticket saying this is impossible and then the ban was released again.  Really fuckin weird stuff going on

I've had this happen to me, too! Talking about pretty anodyne car safety stuff, post locked tighter than if I had sworn allegiance to a terror group. It was about a Tesla vehicle, of course.

Lol you meant +10%, +20%... I've thought about puts ahead of several hugely negative tesla stories and thankfully I haven't because the stock went UP every single time. Its the most irrational stock I've ever seen, so... Yeah. Maybe place puts if they are about to announce record profits? It's opposite world is tesla stock land

Maybe there's a reason they rolled this out in the summer with far fewer school buses in the mix...hmm

what is a neruonet? (for before you answer, it's the wrong word.....)

And also payouts for injuries … Ken Paxton got them cut, after he got his huge payout for his injuries, of course.

Something...something. White genocide in South Africa.

Yeah, I believe it does in fact have a lot better information but the visualization doesn't help with consumer confidence. It would be better to show nothing than a render that is constantly incorrect.

Ahh yes progress the ultimate concern of conservatives

Some folks will say anything for money.

Robotaxi is one serious incident away from being shut down. Any day now…

I'm so curious what you said... short tesla??

They also aren't leaders in battery production like CATL, Panasonic, LG and BYD.

Are you a bot?

No? Are you?

They didn’t even have to pay extra for the Dukes of Hazzard experience

Sorry, intended that for lazy operation above.... wild stuff. Love the post!

Paxton is the AG. Dan Patrick is the lieutenant governor

Oh no worries! :> We live in strange times
