don’t let Musk being a terrible person blind you
This was about a robotaxi, this is Tesla specifically.
There are no other vendors that are equally irresponsible.
I'm not arguing whether Tesla is ahead or behind, I'm only arguing that Tesla is acting with a level of irresponsibility that should have had them fined and controlled on these issues long ago.
I have no doubt that eventually the technology will be good enough, but it's 10 years ago that Musk claimed FSD would be ready next year, and be safer than human drivers, and be able to pick you up and drive you across country, completely without human intervention.
Musk is a liar, I never made that claim about the other companies working on it. But the "good people" at Tesla are still acting irresponsibly, and putting people's lives in danger for profit.
