Humans, by nature, are flawed. Put them in a two-ton vehicle, and all sorts of problems can occur. They can crash into a fixed object going straight on. They back into fixed objects when putting the car in reverse. They hit trees and poles, buses and trucks. Simply put, humans lack the quick reaction speeds and fine motor skills needed to operate a car safely.
Except there’s one problem: all of the above happened to Tesla’s autopilot robotaxis. All in one city, and all in the span of less than a month. And according to Tesla’s own published findings, the company’s autopilot is four times worse than that of a human.
