I have no confidence that Tesla will fix this before the planned Robo-Taxi rollout in Austin in 2 weeks.

After all, they haven't fixed it in the last 9 years that self-driving Teslas have been on the road.

Right... except for hearing horns, sirens or brakes screeching. Feeling a bump in the road and using the tactile feedback to determine if you should swerve or stop.

Elon Musk has been chaffeured the vast majority of his life and it shows.

In my country when you do a driving test one of the things you have to do is pass a hazard perception test. Everyone hates it because it consists of watching a video and clicking on the hazards when you notice them.

The problem is it's almost impossible because the Field of view is probably only about 90°, you can't turn your head because you're locked to the forward-facing camera position, and you lack all the other information.

There are practise tests online, it's interesting to take them because it really does show you how dependent you are on things other than just direct vision.
