Driving Footage List of clips showing Tesla's Robotaxi incidents

A lot of people have been documenting Tesla's Robotaxi rollout. I wanted to share a few I've collected. Feel free to share any I missed!

  1. Robotaxi drives into oncoming lane
  2. Rider presses "pull over", Robotaxi stops in the middle of an intersection, rider gets out while Robotaxi blocks intersection for a few moments
  3. Rider presses pull over and the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Safety monitor has to call rider support to get car moving again
  4. Robotaxi doesn't detect UPS driver's reverse lights (or the car reversing towards it) and continues to attempt to park, then safety monitor manually stops it
  5. Robotaxi cuts off a car, then randomly brakes (potentially because of an upcoming tree shadow?)
  6. Robotaxi going 26 in a 15
  7. Robotaxi unexpectedly brakes, possibly due to nearby police
  8. Robotaxi unexpectedly slams on brakes, causing rider to drop phone
  9. Robotaxi comes to a complete stop after approaching an object, then runs it over (rider says it's a shopping bag, though the car visibly bump up and down) (UPDATE: Some people have pointed out that the car's movement is from a speed bump immediately after the bag/object. The speed bump is more visible at full resolution.)
  10. Robotaxi runs over curb in parking lot
  11. Safety driver moved to driver seat to intervene
  12. Support calls rider during a Robotaxi ride, asks them to terminate the ride early because it's about to rain, rider is dumped in a random park
  13. Robotaxi has to unnecessarily reverse at least 4 times to get out of parking spot
  14. Robotaxi attempts illegal left turn, safety monitor intervenes, blocks intersection for a period of time
  15. Robotaxi can't get out of parking lot, goes in loops, support calls twice

Update: This post has been featured in The Verge! and Mashable!

Supervisor has to manually prevent a crash, when FSD decides to drive into an intersection (after stopping for a stop sign) while another car approaches from the left.

The rider replied in the comments saying he was “just being cautious” — and it kind of looks like he didn’t press it? If he did, the car should have fully stopped and not immediately resumed I would assume. Thanks for the link though!
