Cruise cars were already doing this and performed far better. GM is fucking braindead and pulled the plug like usual though.

Leave it to GM to find a way to thread the needle and seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
What's crazy is that the safety driver's hair has gone completely grey in just two days.
That safety driver did not give a single fuck about driving on the wrong side of the road..

Hooray! I feel so safe. I think I'll move to Texas so I can get obliterated by this taxi from the future.
If we're gonna let them on the road, I say that software should get points just like a driver, but when it gets suspended all the cars running that software get shut down.

Well obviously it's been trained on human taxi driver behaviour
Welcome to johnnycab
Yea, I am not surprised given that the regular lane keep is still ghost braking when going under bridges.
Still, I am surprised how well they are doing, using only cameras.
Imagine if they used other sensors than just cameras like the competent companies!
No no no, you don't get it! Humans only have eyes, so cars that only have eyes should perform just as good as humans! Disregard that humans don't perform well in fog or rain or generally anything that isn't good weather and also disregard that to match our eyes' resolution you'd need extremely high resolution cameras that produce way too much data for current computers and also disregard that most of the stuff isn't happening in our eyes but in our brains and also disregard that the point that is usually being made to advocate for self driving cars is that they should be better than humans!

Fucking hell. We don't let drunks drive taxis, and that goddamn thing drove like it was under the influence.
Does Tesla get sent tickets for traffic violations, or are we OK with this?
I'm sure they're legal team is hard at work trying to find loopholes to circumvent any traffic infringements

It found out who made it so it knew what to do
Let's see bug balls what he has to say.
Oof, these highlighted parts from only one video are already enough for me. This looks very stressful, I don't think I could finish a whole ride with one of these.
