It’s hard to imagine any non-car-based technology being given so much freedom to experiment on public streets with only the iffiest of safety protections.

Tesla Robotaxis drive like they’re drunk, and that’s probably an unfair comparison for the drunk drivers.

See for yourself, one Redditor is on a personal mission to document all the mistakes from the Robotaxi rollout in Austin TX this week.

      Lol it’s so hard to listen to.

      Ooop looks like we just ran over a small child but you know what the car didn’t even hesitate and they say that really, it’s safer for the driver and the traffic around to not hesitate so, kudos to Tesla for taking the safety of everyone in mind. Also, with that adaptive air suspension system, I hardly felt the body. This is like riding on a cloud. And there’s NO driver! I mean this is incredible guys, really.

      Stops in a live intersection to drop off the passengers… Then stays stopped in a live intersection until the user completes the ride.

      Are they supposed to drive like assholes for effect?

      The human safety operator just placidly smiling as he drops them off directly in an intersection (in the line of travel of a pickup truck) was pretty funny.

      As if to say: “Go on. Go out and get what you paid for.”
