If their "AI" wind shield wipers could identify.....rain?....I'd be more hopeful about identifying a child.
ok maybe this is easier to address: is there any safety test that a self driving Tesla doesn't fail?
Tesla be like: Yeet the child!
It hits the road in America. And considering the state of that country, this isn’t even near the list of problems atm.
Maybe y'all can't shoot the cars when they go Christine on you.
Well DUH! It's trained off of the asshats who drive them, and most of them blow right past flashing red school buses and stop signs.
How the fuck, will this get the go ahead? In the US you can sue anyone for anything, how long before a class action gets filed against Tesla and their death traps?

Can't wait for the robo taxis to get vandalized.
Barring that, can't wait until they fail miserably.
Worth saving this article for future class actions. Go go go!
Listen. If we cared about safety we do something about it. This is where we are.
Kids just gotta run faster is all.
Waymo, which I think grew out of the original Google self-driving car project, has been operating robo-taxis for several years. They're available in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a few more cities. I wonder how they did on the schoolbus test. Not able to find anything online about that. They use different car manufacturers from China, UK, Germany, and it looks like one of them (Jaguar Land Rover) is owned or partly owned by Ford. So data about the individual cars is kind of hard to track down.
Atlanta is the latest launch city, they are all white Jaguar i-Paces.
