As illegal immigrant and South African fascist and ketamine enthusiast Elon "Leon" Musk prepares to roll out his problem plagued "Robotaxi" gamble, there are regular reminders that the self-driving technology in his Teslas isn't ready for prime time. For example, in Berks County, PA, a Tesla in self-driving mode stalled on a railroad crossing, and was nicked by a train. A recent demonstration of a Tesla Model Y's "self-driving" feature by The Dawn Project in Austin, TX, where the Robotaxi is scheduled to launch, resulted in the car ignoring a stopped school bus and ramming into child-sized dummies.
The launch date has been slipped a couple of time to fix the issues in the autopilot system. It's most recently been moved from June 12 to June 22, but who knows if that date will be met. Musk has long claimed that his "big idea" of a self-driving taxi would be his biggest venture yet, despite mounting resistance to his products for not only safety reasons, but due to his vile political and social positions. Would we hail a Musk Robotaxi? Hail no.
