robotaxi with passenger falls into construction pit in China, raising safety concerns

There has been a robotaxi launch in china? No, this is Baidu, not relevant to this sub.

Did the front fall off?

That's not very typical

Chance in a million.

They are all robotaxis, its not Teslas trademark, its a term for driverless taxi, whoever makes them.

I enjoyed seeing this, thanks. However u/Voltasoyle has a point: "Posts, both text and link, must relate to Tesla or the EV or AV market space in which they compete. Posts about the automotive industry in general must be accompanied by a comment from OP explaining how it relates to Tesla." So, to avoid post-deletion, get a comment in quickly, u/Far_Addition1210 , explaining how this relates to Tesla, preferably one including a pun based on the word 'pitfall', before the Mods see it!

Its about the safety of FSD and why people wont be rushing to get it. Imagine if the roads are full of FSD cars and some work in a different way to others, there will be multiple accidents like this. FSD is a decade away from being workable, Elmo has taken 5 years at least to get 10 cars on the roads. The pitfalls are there for all to see.

Understandable points. However, lidar robotaxis have very different structure than FSD. FSD's weakness is it is not deterministic and may never eliminate error rates. Lidar robotaxi's weakness is mapping constraints. This one here encounters a pit that is not on its mapping data, and its onboard lidar is not designed to recognize sudden pits, probably just objects above road level. So they are right. This particular error is not relevant to FSD. FSD would probably see the pit and avoid it 99.99% and try to kill the passengers 0.01%. It does that anyway pit or not. Lidar robotaxi would fall in 100% of the time, but drive perfectly 100% if there's no sudden pits.

I believe tzla fsd would go right into the pit based on current robotaxi fail trends, like driving into road barriers, chains and similar objects.
