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.

It wouldn't say corruption, I think it's more that the law around the road was designed with a driver in mind, not with a company or even a robot. the consequences have been thought to hurt a person at fault because at the time only a person could drive

Its very convenient that corporations can both be people and not be people depending on whatever outcome is best for them.

Elon has enough fuck-you money to pay off anyone who would've complained.

He also paid his way into a government position to shut down the government offices that opposed him.
