I was initially skeptical about self-driving cars but I've been won over by Waymo's careful and thoughtful approach using visual cues, lidar, safety drivers and geo-fencing. That said I will never trust my life to a Tesla robotaxi that uses visual cues only and will drive into a wall painted to look like the road ahead like Wile E. Coyote. Beep beep.

It is truly astonishing how much Musk hypes up the robotaxi when no Tesla has ever driving a single mile autonomously while Tesla was liable for crashing.

Every new Tesla drives a single mile autonomously while Tesla is liable for crashing
