Tesla by Elon Musk launched her driver -free “Robotaxi” service in Austin, Texas on Sunday spend all day Call for rides. For everyone, everything went from extremely disappointing to confusing to downright dangerous. Images have already started to populate online vehicles without Tesla making confusion decisions and sometimes spoil so badly that they end up driving on the wrong side of the road.
The latter was the case in what was perhaps the most viral failure of the first days of Tesla’s operation on the Austin roads, where he can only operate in a Small geofise zone. In a Video published by Tesla Dailywhich shows a 20 -minute trip to the back of the driverless (although monitored by a vehicle supervisor And Distant drivers ready to intervene If necessary) model y SUV. About Seven minutesThe Tesla arrives on an intersection in the path turned only. The wheel shakes a little while the car passes directly through the intersection, finding itself in the opposite path of traffic once through the lights. He begins to correct, then simply chooses to bypass the cars in front of her by driving through the zone lines without passage and in a turn of turn, where he is ultimately realized.
So it’s not great.
It was not the only incident that the runners lived behind the wheel of the One of Tesla. In a Video downloaded by FarzadThe runners ask for an early drop, which encourages the Robotaxi to stop complete in the middle of a four -way intersection and to everyone who leaves the vehicle.
Another Video downloaded by Edward Niedermeyer Watch a tesla Robotaxi strengthening unnecessarily hard and arriving at an almost complete stop in the middle of the road when it passes police vehicles, none of which is in fact in the street itself or does not require yield.

Even smaller incidents reveal folds that must be developed. X User Mark Anthony shared a video Display of the touch screen at the rear of the late vehicle, which led to an accidental appeal to support during the attempt to apply. Other videos suggest The microphones took more time than expected And the Robotaxi stopped for the microphones to significant distances of real cyclists.

For a launch which was considerably limited compared to what was initially promised – the Financial Times reported that the service was launched with only 10 cars on the road and despite Musk’s own past claims that the need for geofence where the vehicle can go means that it is not autonomous, Robotaxi is Limited to a very small piece of Austin And cannot go to the airport – there are already major problems exposed in a small number of real kilometers.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comments on the launch. The Austin Transport and Public Works Department declared in Gizmodo: “Tesla works with the working group on autonomous vehicles in the city of Austin, which includes the staff of several departments of the city. The city deals with each AV company which expresses its interest in Austin, offering training opportunities and providing information on city rights and procedures. ”
