I haven’t seen a Volvo as claiming safest car in a very long time. I have seen Tesla make that claim despite robust empirical evidence showing otherwise.

I didn’t watch the video before the starting mark. But now that I look at it, same thing on the data display... yellow boxes for that group of 3 cars that was incoming instead of the blue boxes for the group of cars that the car stopped for.

3:54 was also not a shining moment

Turning the steering wheel left while stopped is a serious hazard! The wheels should remain straight ahead until the turn is initiated. If the vehicle is rear-ended with the front wheels turned, it will enter the oncoming lanes of traffic.

Don’t most cars look like that after being street parked in NYC for a few months?

I did some work in a HOA infested gated community once. Commercial vehicles including all pickups and trailers were not allowed to be on any property overnight. HOA Karen and Chip brought this to our attention.  Made me wonder about the guy across the street who had dealer plates on all 3 cars in his driveway.

Ah apartment life. Where they try and fuck you every which way they can because you’re not poor enough.

In 2006 I lived in a condo complex that had a “no pickup trucks” rule. The parking lot was not small so it wasn’t a size issue, they just didn’t want semi-rural types living there, I guess. Of course I was unaware of this rule until I bought a 1969 Ford F100 with a 390 and Flowmasters. It sounded like John Force’s…

I work in real estate in Manhattan.

These aren’t even “luxury” apartments. Just some normal ass, $900/mo units. Give these people a fucking break.

It would still be a problem because it’s unsafe software being beta-tested on public roads.

Yeah, to a trained driver it’s extremely unsettling to watch, and it does it every single time in the video.

By my job somebody actually died because of that.

Me three on this one. I don’t know if that’s taught any more though as most of the time I see people setting up for their left turns like this.

That was something I noticed as well. I was always taught the same: Keep the wheel straight so that if you are rear ended, you will not be pushed into oncoming traffic.

No, what is “terrifying” is so many Tesla sycophants acting as if their pathetic Level 2 robocar code and sensors will guide their car with the aplomb of a nonexistent Level 5 robocar. IE: putting that much faith into a robocar system which is woefully inadequate.

to all the people sucking Elon’s dick in the comments: Jalopnik reports on Tesla’s FSD failures because TESLA MARKETS THEIR VEHICLES AS SELF DRIVING. If Tesla didnt advertise their vehicles as self driving, this wouldn't be a problem.

Skip the rest until the end. That last turn was sketchy as fuck and the system didn’t detect the giant chevy truck towing the boat and the other dodge truck until way too late.

It didn’t detect the cars at all while trying to make that badly judged left turn...
