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.

But does it do it less often than humans?

A good point, but I'm not sure that's where the bar is. How does it compare to other self-driving systems that have lidar, for instance?

Depends on the issue at hand. To get these approved and widespread, better than humans may be the bar.

I have done it zero times, and I am definitely a Human man.

Can confirm, also a human and never caused a car crash

I'm gonna answer your question with a question, as I don't have your answer. When a human wrecks up it's their fault. Who's fault is it when something like this happens? Should ut still be the person in the driver's seat?

No idea how that will turn out. Fully auto, but you have to maintain the vehicle and ensure it's road worthy as the owner.
