Tesla gets new information request from NHTSA on Robotaxi rollout

Not the first, not the last.

I would love to see the responses to these detailed questions.

These are questions I'm sure this intelligent team has already answered and resolved. Let's face it, they should investigate every human collision in inclement weather to.

My biggest concern in Texas is black ice conditions.

The 10th biggest company in the world isn't competent? Do you hear yourself?

Because all of their cars have achieved the highest safety scores in the collision tests. All models. You don't stumble across that achievement via incompetence.

Safety tests to survive crashes and safety tests to not run over pedestrians are two WILDLY different categories.

You clearly haven’t seen the Tesla truck NHTSA collision video

Here you go: 💩

Yeah currently FSD in icy conditions does a poor job of reducing speed appropriately, increasing follow distance and slowing down earlier when approaching intersections.

🤡

Except Tesla has top scores in that category too: https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model+y/46618 Maybe check the facts before implying that they perform poorly there.

Maybe read the report or my comment before assuming things. Nowhere in my statement did I say they perform well OR bad in FSD testing vs pedestrians. And NOWHERE in that report did they state about testing FSD, even supervised, vs pedestrians. That’s your standard passenger/driver safety report regarding the interior of the car.

Dude, the report has tests for accident avoidance with other cars and with pedestrians. Tesla Model Y scored 98% for overall accident avoidance (the category they call "safety assist"), which is literally the highest score ever given to a car by Euro NCAP. Literally just read the page. The score in that category is right there. Or open the full report to see more details.

FSD report? Cause I’m not seeing one. I see accident avoidance, but that’s standard with every car. Show me the safety report that specifically calls out pedestrian safety under FSD control. This is why they’re asking those questions. Because the only facts and figures are the ones involved with accidents. I scanned through the entire report before commenting back. It has the usual safety tests, but never once did they note safety when under FSD control.

The message is still the same, tesla performs admirably on safety tests which shows competence.

How many structural or design engineers do you know well versed enough to also be software engineers, creating what amounts to AI algorithms? There’s a reason inspections happen at various points during build phases, from my experience with FSD, it’s good but absolutely not ready to be on its own.

I’m sure they will closely monitor conditions and not deploy these vehicles if this is possible.

Are you saying you don’t think Cybertruck’s NHSTA 5 star safety rating is legit?

No, not FSD. They tested Tesla's vision-only collision avoidance features (automatic emergency braking, etc.), and it scored better than literally all other collision avoidance systems on all other cars. The point is Tesla's vision system is literally the best collision avoidance system in the industry.

The not wearing seatbelt regulation causes a compromised design.

Someone at NHTSA probably getting fired soon...

Datasets for slippery and icy surfaces should automagically suggest this situation to Tesla AI and the development team.

'Incompetent' is not the right word for any of Tesla's departments. All Tesla teams are very competent and keep getting better in their trade constantly.

Bro, wake up.

It’s not rocket science. Waymo Zoox cruise and others have been doing this for 5+ years. I’m not confident in the success of Tesla robotaxi… but this reason in particular is the least of the concerns

What does Waymo do?

They don't operate in areas that have black ice

Pussies

/s?

Do you know how they detect it?

Blind faith in the NHTSA 

bro don’t just say stuff

don’t worry about that guy man, he’s not level-headed in his reasoning

They're deploying in Boston this month
