Take a look at this. A Tesla Robotaxi in Austin pauses, seems to reconsider a right-hand turn through some bollards, and then decides: “I’m just gonna send it.”

    Jesus Christ, it shouldn’t be squeezing through such a small gap in bollards on a fucking road. That should be a massive red flag that it is going the wrong way on top of the well marked white lines. If some random person did it we would be mocking them for being stupid no matter how well they kept from scratching the paint in the process.

    It did a shit job the whole video. Stop making excuses for it.

      Im not saying it should, and in this case and have clearly said what it did was wrong.

      Im just trying to reason out how or why something like that may have happened, and at first bad map data seemed like it could be part of it wtf went wrong.

      Road says go right. Oh shit its tight but I can make it. Im fucked. YOLO!!!

      And yes, it shouldn’t have ignored the bicycle signage or the white line.

      Have you never driven around a construction local traffic road only sign that gets placed in the middle of the road or blocking a lane? AVs need to be able to do weird things like this, but in the correct situations, which this was not.
