The new "sentient" $TSLA FSD v14 doesn't understand which traffic light applies to it and then tries to drive on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic. Shinny new version number, same safety critical defects.

In May, Elon Musk said that Tesla would have 1,000 autonomous Robotaxis in Austin within a few months. 5 months later, Tesla has an estimated 29 supervised "Robotaxis" in Austin. Waymo has 2,500 fully autonomous robotaxis doing over 250,000 paid rides a week. Elon's predictions aren't very good. By his standard that means he isn't very smart.

“The safety driver literally fell asleep at least three times during the ride”. Watch a Tesla "Robotaxi" safety driver fall asleep while “monitoring” a ride in San Francisco. Elon Musk, does this driver's demeanor reflect the 'constant attention to the road' and 'immediate preparedness' that your systems require?

Remember when Tesla was going to have 1,000 fully autonomous Robotaxis "within a few months"? Now, nearly a year after Tesla Robotaxi's launch, Tesla is operating a measly fleet of 42 vehicles in Texas with remote operators! In San Francisco, Tesla hasn't even applied for a driverless permit.

A human driver paying attention would have flashed their headlights, slowed down and moved over long before hitting the oncoming car.

In May, Elon Musk told CNBC that Tesla's Austin "Robotaxis" would be fully autonomous. This turned out to be a total lie. 6 months later, Tesla's Robotaxi still has a human supervisor behind the wheel! In July, Waymo announced it was testing in Dallas with safety drivers. 4 months later, Waymo's Dallas fleet is now fully autonomous. Tesla is helplessly watching the robotaxi race from the sidelines.

In case you were wondering why Musk delayed the next Starship launch (again) until after SpaceX's IPO. Or maybe Musk just told SpaceX to run the Raptor 3 engine to destruction because he was jealous of Artemis II getting all the attention.

BREAKING: Tesla self-driving finally passed The Dawn Project's school bus test! On 50 out of 50 test runs, FSD 14.3.2 correctly stopped for the stopped school bus. After three years of campaigning, New York Times ads and Super Bowl commercials, Tesla has finally done the right thing and fixed this egregious safety defect. However, HW3 Teslas running FSD v 12.6.4 will still illegally blow past the stopped school bus and run down a child crossing the road. Elon Musk, if the defects can't be fixed on the current hardware, FSD should be disabled until those vehicles have been upgraded. Ashok Elluswamy, your next task is to stop FSD 14 from speeding in school zones.
