This test of Tesla’s self-driving tech is tough viewing: what Mark Rober did the fun way with his Wile E Coyote test of a fake wall in the middle of the road, the team over at The Dawn Project are doing the hard way by testing self-driving Teslas’ ability to stop for pedestrians at flashing […]

I have no confidence that Tesla will fix this before the planned Robo-Taxi rollout in Austin in 2 weeks.

    Linus tech tips recently reviewed a car with semi auto self driving. It can keep you in the lane and at the right speed. He said it’s perfect for school zones because he knows he doesn’t have to watch the Speedo and give that extra attention to watching for kids walking out. I have to agree with him, there is a school on my commute and the speed drops to 20mph. I let the car do that bit while I worry about little (or sometimes big) feet.

    Would I trust that system to spot a child before I do? Not a chance.
