A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

Anything outside of a freshly painted and paved LA roads at high noon while it's sunny isn't ready for self drivings it seems

Actual self-driving vehicles, sure. Just not whatever the fuck Tesla is doing.

I'm not sure about even the more advanced self-driving cars. Shit gets fucked with snow and all kinds of other stuff.

Flummoxes many human drivers too tbh.

I'm confident that they all still need lots of work for advanced weather, but you're not seeing a Waymo or a Zoox drive into a tree for no reason.

Or silly tunnels you can't get out of.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Tunnels are extra dangerous. Not because of the likelihood of an accident, but because of the situation if an accident happens. It blocks the tunnels easily, fills it with smoke, and kills hundreds.

Except newly built tunnels in rich countries.
