Edge Case

Of course I was going to finish the official unofficial Tesla summer anthem before Robotaxi launch. I present to you the complete “T.S.L.A.” song and music video. Favorite clips in the 🧵 below. In 10 years, this will either be the most iconic Tesla song of all time or no one…

So it looks like the safety rider only has ability to halt the robotaxi and not actually control it beyond that. There are two buttons on the screen “pull over” and “stop in lane” and perhaps an emergency brake button on the door (unconfirmed still). This is technically…

First time I’ve seen an AV get pulled over by police. Looks like this Waymo is going to traffic school for an illegal left turn. I do like how it elegantly pulled over when the police lights went on though. Good safety feature for FSD to learn.

Sometimes you get to one of these flashing red light intersections and no one knows what the fvck they are doing. FSD patiently waits its turn after all the fumbling and then proceeds at the right time. Added repeater camera views just to see what the adjacent cars are doing.

FSD can reverse out of a “standoff” in current version just like the Robotaxi did here in Omar’s video. Just needs to build some more confidence. We tested this situation earlier this year. x.com/edgecase411/st…

Can @robotaxi handle a difficult edge case with a long line of bicyclists with police escorts & on busy Austin roads, while trying to negotiate a right turn into a backed up lane? Check this out! Pretty impressive, smooth & comfortable ride! Well done!

It feels a little extra satisfying and special watching this and thinking all of the Beta testers out there played a small but important role in training the AI to get to this significant milestone. Congratulations to the hard working teams at Tesla and all of us. ❤️ 🫡

Glad to see Robotaxi avoiding Chuck Cook unprotected left turns, especially with cars coming around a blind curve. Great way to reduce the risk of incidents.

Three days with Tesla Robotaxi. 62 total rides. Here’s what actually happened when I put the autonomous future to the test.

Safety monitor in this Robotaxi looks to be very cautious here on this unprotected left turn with his thumb ready by the “stop” button. First time seeing a safety rider be so locked in and ready to intervene. If you look closely at the screen visualization the driver/passenger…

Tesla has done a great job on this small-scale robotaxi rollout in Austin. Skeptics saying Tesla couldn't launch a robotaxi based on FSD Community Tracker like to point to Waymo, but as I've pointed out many times, you can't compare the tracker data to CA DMV or NHTSA data…

Here is another instance where the safety rider very likely saved the robotaxi hitting a parked car while trying to squeeze through a tight spot. You can tell because the hazard lights went on as soon as the car stopped. He either hit the “stop in lane” button on the screen or…

First intervention I’ve seen with Robotaxi. (Deleted the original post since I had accidentally screen captured at 2x speed) Safety monitor hits the “stop in lane” button as a UPS truck tries to back into a spot where the Robotaxi was trying to go. Watching it at 1x speed again…
