Robotaxi hits parked car

Oof only spots left on the bingo card are robotaxi his pedestrian, robotaxi catches fire with occupants locked inside... Def though it would take more than a week and 2000 total miles to get this far.

Robotaxi drives into lake

Par for the course.

It that legit? Avoiding a stationary object seems like something FSD would actually be decent at. Plus, the video is from 2 days ago. An actual collision would be much bigger news.

It's just the one where it touched the car with its tire due to a tight squeeze. Iirc the safety driver climbed into the driver seat to unfuck it.

Good context, though the safety driver actually taking over makes it pretty big news.

>Avoiding a stationary object seems like something FSD would actually be decent at. There are a bunch of cases where FSD has plowed into stopped emergency vehicles. So while I agree with you in theory, the evidence suggests otherwise.

yeah, did some light digging, and found [this article](https://futurism.com/tesla-robotaxi-safety-driver-forced-to-drive), which gives better context than the linked-to thread: > In an incident shared on Wednesday, a popular Tesla content creator who goes by the handle "Dirty Tesla" said that after his robotaxi ride dropped him off, the vehicle struggled to exit the tight parking lot and appeared to back up into a parked car. > > After that car left, according to Dirty Tesla, the safety monitor got out of the front passenger seat, climbed into the driver's seat to take over, and then drove away.

Things aren't going so swell, right, Elon? Sending thoughts and prayers!

Let's be honest. We'll make up any bingo card spots we can get until there's finally a death for the people here to celebrate. Then this sub will angrily realize robotaxi continues to add vehicles, just like people added electricity to their homes, even after the first published death from electricity.

Did they sell electricity for 10+ years before it existed?

Lol L4 vehicles already do exist and are becoming more widespread, and have a pretty good safety record, they just aren't labeled "robotaxi" nor Tesla brand. If Elon hadnt been misleading the public on fsd progress for the past decade, this sub probably wouldn't even exist.

‘Robotaxi kills pedestrian’ - stock goes up 4%

I am waiting for Robotaxi hits Robotaxi

"Widespread with a pretty good safety record" Not as fully a time as vehicles they don't. Tesla still has zero miles of fully autonomous public driving. A good safety record with an attentive human driver taking over every time it screws up, tells us nothing about what the safety record is going to be like when it's on its own. We've been seeing multiple driving failures and a couple of safety driver interventions even with this tiny deployed fleet, over the first 3 days.

Flip the sign 0 days since an accident

Elon said it was like 100000 miles.

> We'll make up any bingo card spots we can get until there's finally a death for the people here to celebrate. It sounds like you're waiting to celebrate a Waymo death. >Then this sub will angrily realize robotaxi continues to add vehicles Yeah, right now Waymo is adding actual robotaxi vehicles while Tesla is just a taxi with an employee in the front seat. If all you are looking for in a 'robotaxi' is someone in the front seat, Uber has already been invented!

No? He didn’t. Where?

Cameras can struggle to avoid stationary objects, especially in a scenario like this. If they don’t construct a high quality 3d geometry before approaching the object, then they are fcked once up close like this

There isn’t any actual contact here is there ?

This accident could have been avoided if the muppet sitting in the front passenger seat was behind the wheel instead ....

It hasn’t exploded on the launch pad yet. Oh wait, wrong company.

I hope the safety monitor’s resume is up-to-date.

Umm is there a Bingo card somewhere because I totally want to play.

He was using some mental gymnastics by multiplying the city miles per incident by the highway miles multiplied by fsd capable teslas and divided by other cars. In reality it's about 222 city miles per incident.

Pedestrian hits pedestrian! Oh wait

Sure. But also I thought the post above was talking about total miles traveled and not miles per incident. I’m sure total miles traveled at this point is like 1k to 10k

Don’t you mean “robotaxi self-clears pathway of organic obstruction” - stock goes up 8%?

Someone calculated this already, since it's only 10 cars, a few daily users for morning commute, and a few miles of road, Tesla does about 500 miles as a taxi per day. Enough for two incidents daily.

i read somewhere that it rubbed the wheel against the other car. but then the other car's driver got in their car and drove off, so after that the "safety" person in the tesla jumped into the drivers seat and drove off. so doesn't seem like it was a "crash" but there was contact. but hard to tell from the videos.

i found it shocking that they sit in the passenger seat, and seem to just hit a button on the screen to pause the car's driving. that doesn't seem appropriate whatsoever.

Got it. In California autonomous vehicle crash reporting requirements, this would count

Also: Robotaxi massive losses incurred. Stock goes brrrrrr

Pedo-strian runs into robotaxi in terrorist suicide attack, causing $10,000 in damage but no injuries to the occupants of the safest car known to man. TSLA stock rises 15%

It's Austin, there's not really a lake for it to drive in to. So, drives into a river!

Still love the... *gurgle* *gurlge*

It is like they are deliberately mocking common sense safely measures.

What kind of comparison is that? Waymo has been doing incredibly safe driverless rides in cities for a few years now. This is Musk arriving late with his comparatively half assed self driving system

Robotaxi is drunk

I have a bad feeling that Tesla is going to seriously injure someone or worse and screw up self-driving cars for everyone.

Oh great! Can we get 10% stock increase tomorrow? Lol

I thought Austin has a lake that looks like a sewage dump

As the tesla fanboy passengers burn to death they will be furiously tweeting “this ride is 🔥 🔥 🔥 “

have they? in 2024 they actually drive on the wrong side of the road, and NTSHA investigation was opened into the law breaking + collisions > Earlier this month, the U.S. auto safety regulator opened an investigation after 22 reports of its robotaxis exhibiting driving behavior that potentially violated traffic safety laws, or demonstrating other "unexpected behavior," including 17 collisions. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-safety-probe-into-waymo-self-driving-vehicles-finds-more-incidents-2024-05-24/

Clearly the parked car’s fault

parked car accused of domestic terrorism. fixed it.

hot tip: if you feel the need to preface your opinion with, ‘Let’s be honest’ - you’ve already lost.

Rapid Unscheduled Dismemberment

Robotaxi hits one of those cybertrucks where the owner polished into mirror shine finish and robotaxi got confused

It's all for optics. Even thought the safety driver serves the same purpose whether they're in the driver or passenger seat. Having them in the passenger seat makes it seem more legitimate to fElon.

Robotaxi hits Leon.

You forgot there are 4 tires so actually it’s four times more miles than you’d intuitively think

Will the family of the first "Unscheduled Sudden Journey to a Better Place" in one of these things win the sue Elon Musk lottery, or do you have to sign away your very soul contractually when you crawl into a Musk Death Taxi?

Maybe just a Tessler dealership left all their Cybertruck trunks open too long.

Let's not forget to send also our hearts out to him with a friendly salute!

I can also believe the performance over a very specific, narrowly trained, route is at least somewhat better. But clearly not good enough
