Tesla Model Y robotaxi accidents grow with the unsupervised fleet at above human driver rate

[Redaktion]

The number of incidents with Tesla's robotaxis running on unsupervised FSD appears to be growing exponentially. Waymo now has over 3,000 autonomous ride-share vehicles in six U.S. cities, while Tesla only has about 500 Model Y robotaxis operating in Austin and San Francisco.

Daniel doesn't seem to know what exponentially means...

What terrible piece of writing. At least make it an opinion piece...

You should read the source linked at the bottom of the article.

Not only does it state that Waymo has 2500 - not "over 3000" - vehicles operating in 6 cities, but it also mentions the fact that Waymo has accumulated "hundreds of incidents" since last June - something Mr Zlatev neglects to mention, for some reason, despite his emphasis of how much larger Waymo's fleet is than Tesla's.

One might be left with the impression that the author was deliberately trying to mislead the reader into thinking that the 14 incidents accrued by Tesla were unusually high, compared to their relatively little footprint - something which is completely contrary to the facts, as laid out by the very article he cites.

I'd also be very interested to know where he gets the figure of one incident per 57,000 miles, as it doesn't show up in the cited article, or at the NHTSA page linked at the bottom of the article.
