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.
What real world problem does this solve?
Actually, lots. The issue is that if it doesn’t work it’s dangerous.
Stonks?
Task automation
Is it really task automation if it does it worse than a drunk human could have done it?
I didn’t claim Tesla has solved this automation problem.
Waymo is closer to human levels, but not yet considerably better.
Nothing that a train + scooter / bicycle cannot solve imo
