It's hard to imagine any non-car-based technology being given so much freedom to experiment on public streets with only the iffiest of safety protections.

Tesla Robotaxis drive like they're drunk, and that's probably an unfair comparison for the drunk drivers.

See for yourself, one Redditor is on a personal mission to document all the mistakes from the Robotaxi rollout in Austin TX this week.

The human safety operator just placidly smiling as he drops them off directly in an intersection (in the line of travel of a pickup truck) was pretty funny.

As if to say: "Go on. Go out and get what you paid for."
