Combined Summary
The Tesla Robotaxis hit the streets of Austin on June 22. Based on various user reports, here are the things the Tesla Robotaxi did right and what went seriously wrong. Driverless cars are able to make smooth turns, while maintaining a consistent distance from the car ahead. The car is also able to switch lanes effectively and choose a lane with less traffic, while also braking for pedestrians and cyclists. Tesla Robotaxi is generating mixed reviews for its FSD. Some claim to vouch for its efficiency while others question its effectiveness. A large section of media and social media influencers came down heavily on Tesla. A video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Facts Chaser shows the Robotaxi suddenly slamming hard on the brakes without any warning. The passenger seated at the rear jerked forward and their belongings were thrown to the floor. X account Fact Chaser has posted other materials to support this theory. In a separate post it is claimed that Grok, the artificial intelligence (AI) tool of X stated that Tesla’s FSD struggles with sun glare, often causing sudden braking or disengagements. NHTSA is investigating FSD for related crashes. Waymo’s lidar, radar likely handle glare better. Both Grok and Tesla share the same owner — Elon Musk.

Article Summary:
Tesla Robotaxi is generating mixed reviews for its FSD. Some claim to vouch for its efficiency while others question its effectiveness. One of the most significant failures highlighted on social media is the sudden braking of the car. Passenger was shocked to the core who said the car “braked for no reason” The reason for this glitch is speculated to be the sun glare. It is suspected that when the glares from the sun falls on the FSD sensors, automatic emergency brakes take effect suddenly. By 2022, Tesla had racked up over 750 complaints to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about sudden phantom braking incidents. Grok notes that Elon Musk removing radar, shunning lidar, and transitioning to cameras only is why Tesla has not solved its sudden braking problem. Elon Musk has been bullish about Tesla’s FSD for a long time. Over the last few years, several media investigations have cited reasons such as transition to a vision-only system, sensor and software limitations, and software calibration and updates as few of the problems related to Tesla's FSD.
