Tesla's Not-A-Robotaxi Service

Tesla's marketed "Robotaxi" service operates as a Level 2 driver-assistance system requiring human drivers in the car and remote operators as backup—not true autonomous vehicles like Waymo's. The service has crashed once every 57,000 miles in Austin, roughly 4 times worse than normal drivers and 6 times worse than professional taxi drivers, raising questions about Tesla's regulatory claims and misleading marketing.
