This Tesla Robotaxi demo video is a mess.
Watch as the car makes a left turn from the wrong lane, ignoring a red light. The safety operator steps in, and the car comes to a stop… right in the middle of the intersection.
Eventually, it completes the illegal turn after blocking traffic for 45 seconds, which raises the question, what exactly is the safety operator there for?
What exactly does honking accomplish though?
Waking up the safety operator perhaps.
While the person honking probably doesn’t intend it that way, it gives a warning to others who can’t see it yet to be careful, because something unusual is happening.
I’ll concede that you bring up the point of honking overall, but in the case of this Jonny cab how would honking help?
I know but in my area people will be pissed and be honking not that I agree but I’m surprised how calm people are with this nonsense of being live beta tester.
