So I think the only button he operator has was the kill switch. Instead the operator should have a second button to report an error or something, without causing the car to do a full stop.

Stopping might have still been a better result than turning in front of incoming traffic though
This was not turning into incoming traffic. Did you even watch the video?

Its good Tesla gave the safety officers have the tools they need to keep things safe...
Or not.
Hey you know what, lets just throw a million or more of these things into the real world right now. The sooner we can rack up the body count the sooner we can get grifters to scream into the zeitgeist about government control or whatever. Idk let tesla fuck up their value and live in infamy
As dumb as this tech is in its current state, it still seems safer to me than human drivers. So far they've had very few accidents. Human drivers will do a dangerous maneuver to get in front of you then at the red light they'll get out of the car and try kick your ass.
They also have very few cars. There's like 10 or so of these robotaxis. If you grab 10 human taxi drivers and follow them around for a few months, you'd also expect them to have on average 0 accidents.
I dont have an issue with any of them except tesla. I dont trust their "camera only" method on top of their phantom braking and acceleration, plus whatever else can fail and prevent you from getting out of the car
yeah Tesla is by far the worst of all the brands.
Safety operator was trying to eliminate the witness.
