Tesla Robotaxi may launch early as Elon Musk bags nationwide autonomous vehicle deregulation

[Redaktion]

Elon Musk's bet on the incoming Trump administration is starting to pay off handsomely, with autonomous vehicle permits heading Tesla's way.

Wonder how many injuries/deaths will occur before this is changed.  Press/lawyers/states will have a field day with this.

I think this will be the salvation that Elon is looking for.. not only for tesla. But SPACEX also..

I do think Elon is going to take advantage of this very finite opportunity to get his companies ahead and don't be surprised if he tried to sneak in his brain chip implant company into the mix to get a jumpstart on making it mandatory into political circles.

The people claiming this is dangerous are out of their minds. We have thousands of deaths caused by humans not paying attention. I'm sure emergency braking tech has saved tens of thousands of accidents but if one time it fails all the idiots start claiming it's useless and it should be banned.

Self driving is an absolute dream and I can't wait for it to be approved, I've already drive at least 20,000km on autopilot which is just a glorified cruise control, seld driving is incredible tech

With FSD engaged and the truck traveling between 20-30 miles per hour, Chris placed various objects in its path. The Cybertruck failed to detect most of these items, drove uncomfortably close to others and even displayed a ghost-like figure instead of a mannequin.

Yeah. Death machine.

People keep using this as an excuse.  If it's true then why fear the regulation and safety testing? Why not be transparent and share the real data. Why buy a president and destroy the regulatory framework rather than just proudly demonstrate how amazing the product is?

I've used FSD daily since the Safety Score days. It's a good system, but I intervene every drive and it fails consistently in bad weather.

Comments line yours are either propaganda or delusion.

Just put lidar on Teslas. Visual Cameras alone won't ever cut it.

What is needed to get self driving cars working best is:

1. NHTSA adding it to their safety tests, they didn't even test automatic braking. There has been some progress on this front 2 days ago when they finally updated the 5 star safety program to include those. But this should have been done a decade ago.

2. V2X standards, while NHTSA plan calls for 20% to be V2X by 2028. That remains just a plan, all the work they did trying to finalize the rules for half a decade went down the drain and we are back to square one with no v2x standard.

3. Roads meant for self driving vehicles only. Because the biggest obstical for any self driving vehicle is humans doing unpredictable things.
