    Die Absturzrate von Teslas Robotaxi ist viel schlimmer, als wir zuerst dachten

      As many probably expected, Tesla’s Robotaxi service hasn’t grown the way Elon Musk predicted, and it’s not running as smoothly as the company might have hoped. New data shows that the autonomous cars Tesla is operating in Austin, Texas, are crashing far more often than human drivers.

      According to figures submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Tesla’s Robotaxis were involved in nine crashes between July and November of last year. During that period, the fleet logged about 500,000 miles, which works out to an incident roughly every 55,000 miles.

      That rate might not seem disastrous at first glance. But NHTSA data shows that human drivers report one police-notified crash about every 500,000 miles. Factoring in unreported incidents, estimates suggest a more realistic figure of one crash every 200,000 miles.

      Even by that more forgiving measure, humans are still significantly outperforming Tesla’s current autonomous system. Electrek reported this disparity, pointing out the shortfall in Tesla’s safety metrics.

      Given this information who wants to put one of those mew tsla robots in their home

      Can’t wait to see the stats when they put them in places with lots of pedestrians and cyclists. Not in a good way.

      And now they are making robots, this is gonna get even more hilarious.

      I take it Musk is still convinced you can do autonomous vehicles with only visual sensors.

      I’m no Tesla or Elon fan, I wouldn’t drive a Tesla if I was given it, but taxis do a whole lot more stops and starts than regular drivers so are they comparing regular non professional drivers to taxis or are these stats from actual taxi drivers they use for comparison, because these are two very different things.

      Globally, lorries vans and taxis have seen an increase in their accident rates , In 2023, in a survey of over a million professional drivers the total distance driven before a collision was 740,000 miles – down from 920,000 miles the year before. These stats for Lorries will greatly skew the stats as they do most of the miles on motorways where there are the least incidents.

      Let’s to a quick breakdown:

      * Autonomous driving has been promised since the early 2000s, still not delivered
      * The roadster – targeted for release in 2020 – hasn’t started production yet
      * Windows of the Cybertruck were supposed to be impenetrable, and broke on stage.

      Nothing to say of the wonderful utopia Twitter was going to become, or the trillion dollars DOGE was going to save.

      Maybe we should just ignore any time Musk says…well…anything.

      The data sample is extremely small at just 500k miles. Check back at 2-3 million miles and the compassion will be much more clear.

      You can even see it happen just in the 6 months. 7 out of 9 accidents happened in the first 3 months. Since then only 2 accidents.

      That’s why musk had the guy in charge fired through doge so that information wouldn’t get out.

      You would have to pay me a lot of money and I’d still never ride one

      How does that compare to Waymo? Waymo is LiDAR, versus Tesla, which is cameras, correct?

      Between the Nazi salutes and shit tech, Tesla seems like a terrible company.

      Brought to you by the guy who pushed to do away with the whole self-driving accident reporting requirement, who could have possible seen this coming?

      I never understood why Tesla bet the farm on that stupid self-driving thing. Building great cars should have been enough, maybe with a lane keeping and traffic jam assistant. But they have been acting like that self driving and robotaxi thing was bigger than the cars themselves.

      Shocking, when they’ve been doing everything they can to avoid submitting it to testing in most places in the world and hiding actual statistics about it since day one.
