Zwei Welten, eine davon ist real. So ist das wohl im "postfaktischen Zeitalter".

Seit 22.6.2025 fahren #Tesla #Robotaxis "autonom" durch einen kleinen, zuvor millimetergenau gemappten Teil von Austin/Texas. Der #TSLA-Aktienkurs steigt. Die ausgewählten #Fanboys feiern die ersten Fahrten.

Tatsächlich begehen die Robotaxis potenziell tödliche Fahrfehler (s. verlinktes Video). Tesla verheimlicht seine Unfallstatistik mit "supervised full self driving", der Software, die auch die Robotaxis nutzen. In denen sitzt ein Tesla-Mitarbeiter auf dem Beifahrersitz, wo er das Auto per "kill switch" jederzeit zum Stehen bringen kann. Außerdem gibt es einen "war room", wo weitere Mitarbeiter per Fernsteuerung Robotaxis wieder auf Kurs bringen können.

Das ist von autonomem Fahren so weit entfernt wie ein VW #Käfer von einem #Ferrari. Und die haben zumindest jeweils 4 Räder.

FuelArc News · Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day - FuelArc NewsWatch this video of Tesla’s Robotaxi, and let me know what you think: In a 22 minute drive, I saw: All told, these early rider videos are a mess. This isn’t beta testing. It’s stress testing… and the autonomous tech is failing the test. Broad Daylight, Clear Skies: It’ll Never Be Easier to Not Mess […]

zdfheute.de startet seine Seite mit: Klimakrise? Israels Angriff auf den Iran? Nein, mit #Bullshit, "Teslas #Robotaxis". Kritische Analyse in Bezug auf Autoabhängigkeit, Platzverbrauch oder Todesopfer durch solche Fahrzeuge in Städten? Fehlanzeige - es geht nur darum, welche Firma da erfolgreich ist oder nicht. Menschen fehlanzeige.

Leider nichts Neues, wenn es um Wirtschafts-"Journalisten" im deutschen Fernsehen geht.

Süddeutsche Zeitung · Santa Monica: Protest gegen Waymo RobotaxisBy Jürgen Schmieder
Replied in thread
¿Pero cómo podrían afectar estos #robotaxis a las alicaídas ventas en el resto del mundo? Al parecer su sola existencia sería una MEGAPUBLICIDAD positiva de las grandes ventajas de su #autopilot que pronto llegarían a todas las nuevas versiones de sus modelos... pero esto es solo una PROMESA
Continued thread

#Tesla's story about keeping used cars for #robotaxis fits a long pattern of unfulfilled promises to deploy #SelfDriving vehicles–most recently announced for June in Austin, Texas.

Every year since 2016, #Musk has promised self-driving Teslas would arrive no later than the following year. In 2019, when Tesla first offered leasing for the Model 3, Musk told podcast host Lex Fridman that the ability to add #AutonomousDriving software would make every used Tesla an "appreciating asset."

Continued thread

"You don't have the option of buying," Chief Executive #ElonMusk said at an investor gathering in California in April 2019. "We want them back."

"Next year, for sure," he added, "we'll have over 1 million robotaxis on the road."

None of that would prove true. Despite repeated promises, the #robotaxis never came. #Tesla instead found an unusually lucrative way to make money by flipping many of the off-lease cars to new buyers, according to four people familiar with Tesla's retail operations.

🚗 Autonome Fahrzeuge wie #Robotaxis versprechen ein verbessertes Mobilitätsangebot, mehr Verkehrssicherheit und mehr Nachhaltigkeit.

📍 Am 3. April, 17:30 Uhr, diskutiert Prof. Ina Schaefer @KIT_Karlsruhe im Haus der Wissenschaft in #Braunschweig die Herausforderungen bei der Einführung autonomer Fahrzeuge und stellt ein Konzept vor, das helfen könnte, die Einführung voranzutreiben.
