One of the Robotaxi “crashes” was actually a moving bus colliding into a stationary Robotaxi.

That's even more convincing. I wouldn't want to be in the RoboTaxi that's getting hit by a bus

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the company’s robotaxis will be “widespread” in the U.S. by the end of 2026.

Their service is way worse than you think, in every way. The actual unsupervised Robotaxi service doesn't cover a geofenced area of Austin, like Waymo does. It traverses a fixed route along South Congress Avenue, like a damned bus.

This is something Electrek does regularly and isn't unique to this article but I don't like how they suggests the Tesla crash reports are doing something shady by following the reporting guidelines. Tesla is reporting things by the books, and when Electrek doesn't like how the laws are laid out they blame Tesla. Electrek wants Tesla to publish separate press notes, and since they don't they take their frustration out on the integrity of the article, which is worse for everyone.

Waymo is licensing out their "Driver" software to cars that fit the specification

if Tesla drops the ego they could obtain Waymo software and track record on future Tesla hardware

at this point much bigger news story might be “robotaxi made it from point A to point B in a straight line on a vacant parking lot (supervised)”

Well, how about time to take them off the roads then?

Given how minor these are, you think they'd get in front of the conspiracy by full disclosure.

Now imagine if all those billions in taxes had been used to build real transit infrastructure instead of subsidizing Tesla.
