I just can't see how Tesla self-driving taxis will be safe for unsupervised use any time soon.

Someone else mentioned that over on Reddit, in a very clapback sort of way. Would you happen to be in Texas? I'm learning all about regional traffic law variations :D

So, my thought here: the stop sign is simply not recognized by the vehicle. It didn't see the stop sign and decide "legally, I have the right of way." The stop sign just doesn't appear on the visualization, cameras failed to register the blinking lit up sign, and thus the computer thought it had the right of way.

As a separate critical fuckup, it only realized the pedestrian was a pedestrian like a millisecond before impact. It wasn't a good test performance at all.
