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.

this would get a normal person's car impounded and drivers license revoked. why can a company get away with it?

It wouldn't say corruption, I think it's more that the law around the road was designed with a driver in mind, not with a company or even a robot. the consequences have been thought to hurt a person at fault because at the time only a person could drive

Its very convenient that corporations can both be people and not be people depending on whatever outcome is best for them.

Elon has enough fuck-you money to pay off anyone who would've complained.

He also paid his way into a government position to shut down the government offices that opposed him.

They had so many cameras on this car, how many laws do you think each average driver breaks every 22 minutes?

It would be interesting if they could figure out why the car chose to do these specific things,
