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.
That’s where law is not justice.
I do agree with your sentiment, but if the law defines a driver as a human, which is usually the case, then by definition Tesla cannot be the driver.
It could even be that the passenger sitting in the driver’s seat of a robotaxi would be defined as the driver.
And sure, these laws need to be adapted before robotaxis should be allowed to hit the streets.
