Self-Driving Tesla Tries to Crash into Oncoming Traffic On The Highway… Again
With all of the talk about unsupervised Robotaxis, you might reasonably wonder when Tesla’s self-driving tech will be ready to roam American roads without a human ready to step in. Not too soon, based on recent videos of self-driving Teslas trying to drive into oncoming traffic. We found 3 examples,...
In case you were worried about cars being too safe, don't worry. The most lethal car brand in the USA is pushing the envelope and innovating entirely new ways to make a nuisance of themselves.
Also, the dash cam footage of Tesla's self-driving tech is terrifying.

These should have never been allowed on roads.
Think about it: human drivers are put through training and then tested. Then they are licensed and given demerit points so if they screw up enough, they don't get to drive.
But Teslas? "Oops". Carry on.
We'd never be OK with humans driving into oncoming traffic like a suicidal teen. Why are we still OK with suicidal machines doing it?
Not sure where you're from, but in the US "training" is optional, the tests are worthless (I passed by driving around a parking lot with one stop sign and parallel parking in a space that could fit a bus), and the points barely matter. Humans kill >40,000 other a humans a year on US roads. "We" are absolutely ok with massive amounts of traffic violence, unfortunately.
I agree with everything you wrote, and I wish the system went through a major overhaul when it comes to driving training, testing, and certification.
Drivers should be trained and tested as if they were pilots, IMO. The mere fact that they cause so much devastation should make this an obvious necessity.
FWIW, I'm in Canada, and driver training lowers insurance premiums for a very long time, so I'd imagine that most people go through training. I'd be crazy not to...
