Tesla's Austin Robotaxis Crash 4x More Than Human Drivers; FSD Crash Data Redacted
By
Motorhead
Summary
Tesla's robotaxi operations in Austin are underperforming, with crash data showing the fleet is 4x less safe than human drivers (14 crashes over 820,000 miles since July). The article also reveals that Tesla redacts Full Self-Driving (FSD) crash data from reports involving Tesla owners, obscuring the true safety picture. This data suppression undermines Elon Musk's promises about deploying driverless robotaxis at scale, suggesting the technology is far from ready for widespread autonomous operation.
