Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day (fuelarc.com)

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.

Yea, this one isn't an issue. If you are dropping off passengers, you are allowed to stop in a fire lane because that is not parking.

Which brings up an interesting question, when is a driverless car 'parked' vs. 'stopped'?

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When the engine is off?

Of course, how to tell this with an electric car?

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, tell that to police who bust people with DUIs when the engine is still off.

When the motor drivers are energized?
