Yeah, but the issues the Tesla seems to have in the video above (pedestrians crossing, rail tracks, bus lanes, parked UPS trucks) are hardly 1% edge cases, but common occurrences that are in every city.

And it wasn't even rush hour through some crowded European city like Rome with people on scooters zooming in every directions, in poor weather conditions at night, it was broad daylight in a city with barely any traffic.

If it can't handle basic city driving properly, then I'm sorry.



Agree with you, but that area in downtown San Jose is very weird to drive around given their light rail system.

Not defending Tesla for all of those mistakes, but as a human, it’s easy to end up going down the wrong lane.


I've personally seen cars in those San Jose train lanes enough times to wonder just how common it is.


I think there's disagreement about what 1% means - far less than 1% of my time spent operating a car involves interaction with a UPS truck, but more than 1% of my trips do.

Asking as someone with no first hand experience with these systems - do they complete 99% of trips with no disengagements or unexpected behavior, 99% of time driving, something else?
