I understand exactly why, but the depth of the Facebook and Twitter cratering is remarkable.

"human driver" statistical comparisons are fraught because these AVs only operate on certain roads and in certain conditions, but the important takeaway here is that Teslas are deeply unsafe and should not be on the road
"data suggests Tesla Robotaxis are crashing once every 40,000 miles, whereas the average human driver in the US crashes about once every 500,000 miles"
that's just really really bad sherwood.news/tech/teslas-...
