Coming up to an intersection, it appears #TeslaFSD can hear/see the firetruck ahead at the light as it pulls over short of the truck in front.

Of course, it's not smart enough to know that pulling over here makes no sense since there are cars all around and would block entrance into the driveway.

Waymo robotaxis now available in 10 cities Waymo has doubled the number of markets it serves in a matter of months.

"Armed with $16 billion in fresh capital."

"Rides were initially limited to about a 50-square mile zone in the East Valley, but service has since expanded to 315 square miles across much of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Chandler."

Tesla? Tesla anyone?

Hmm. Zoox is owned by Amazon. No one in the auto industry is producing robotaxis (or even considering it). This is all the tech bros.

Looks like expect a lot out of their Nvidia collab.

Well see. There is a big difference between visioning and allowing some creative license and betting the entire company's business model on it.

Very exciting day for #Rivian.

Tesla delivery slide may stretch to third year, some fear, as cash burn looms Tesla investors and analysts are cutting estimates for its electric vehicle deliveries and some are now expecting a third straight year of decline, pressuring profit as CEO Elon โ€‹Musk refocuses on the...

Opps. The longer they bury their heads in the sand and don't own up to the problem (cough #ElonMusk), the longer this is going to go on.

Bring it on Phoenix!

I've got to give #TeslaFSD credit that it's more polite (and dare I say more lawful) than I would ever be.

In Phoenix, drivers must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian within a crosswalk (marked or unmarked) on your half of the road, the moment they step into the roadway or appear to.

It's mind-blowing to think this is going to work but clearly they know something we don't.

Zoox developing autonomous vehicles that carry their own surf boards.

It's getting better but like everything about Tesla's FSD, it's totally unreliable and unpredictable. This probably worked but the pothole was so visible. I guarantee there are thousands of videos that show it hitting the potholes.

What is going on at Tesla? Has the CEO antics finally hit the faithful? Next up, investors.

Missed pedestrians "by that much."

Something #TeslaFSD would never had done, attempted that turn with those pedestrians in the crosswalk (which they had the right of way).

Also surprised FSD didn't react more to the oncoming car clearly over the double yellow line. Speed too slow?

Looking forward to seeing these in Phoenix ... although not wild about the styling.

It would be good to know the version number and mapping data they are on. Doesn't excuse the incident, nor am I surprised, but it would be better reporting.

This was a neat trick.

It's hard to tell what this guy is doing or what his intentions were but I think #TeslaFSD reacted in an appropriate way by slowing down slightly and, since there were no other cars, moving over in the lane.

Making a left turn. Map shows it's making a left turn. And yet #TeslaFSD fails to get into the left turn lane. I had to manually move into that lane as it was clear.

This is not a dangerous situation but again, totally inconsistent and you never know what it's going to do wrong. Can't rely on it.

As it contemplates a left merge before the second light ahead, it does take its time to move over. There is plenty of space but #TeslaFSD waits to the last minute, having to cross 2 lanes of traffic at once.

It's not necessarily unsafe, but it does seem aggressive and drivers need to be ready.

Who knows that these guys are going to do but I thought Farley gave a pretty thoughtful mia copa in the article. To your point, the proof will be in what they eventually release and if history is a guide, we both know the outcome. LOL

Amazing they thought in the first place they could just build it the way they been building them. Pretty strategic fail.

Living on Mars, data centers in space, building robots, autonomously driving us everywhere we need to go. This guy has a full plate.

Sometimes it really feels like we living in a Bond movie.

I don't care what anybody says, the vertical booster landings are very cool.

There is a lot to be said about this perspective. Maybe there is a strategy behind Ford's electrification goals. We'll see.

Don't believe him. He'll automate his factories as fast as he can.
