A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

Not really worth talking about unless the crash rate is higher than human average.

Imagine if people treated airbags that way XD

If Ford airbags just plain worked, and then Tesla airbags worked 999 times out of 1,000, would the correct answer be to say "well thems the breaks, there is no room for improvement, because dangerously flawed airbags are way safer than no airbags at all."

Like, no. No, no, no. Cars get recalled for flaws that are SO MUCH less dangerous.

But does it do it less often than humans?
