I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:

  • Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
  • Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
  • Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.

And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.

Maybe they could add something to the road, to keep the taxis going in the right direction. Some kind of guard rails on the road.

And if it’s just taxis on those rail roads, they could go a lot faster.

You could probably connect a bunch of taxis together to move them more efficiently, too.

Imagine, if you could connect cities with these kinds of high speed, high capacity rail roads! Robo taxis are the future!
