Never say never—it’s not physically impossible. But yes, as it stands, it seems that Tesla will not be self driving any time soon (if ever).

- kjksf 8mo agoThey literally just (in the last few days) started unsupervised robotaxis in Austin. They are as self-driving as a car can be. This is different than the one where they had a human supervisor in passenger seat (which they still do elsewhere). And different than the one where they didn't have human supervisor but did have a follow car. Now they have a few robotaxis that are self driving.
- amanaplanacanal 8mo agoHave you actually ridden in one? It's unclear whether this is a real thing or not.
- throwaway2037 8mo agoThis is a very low effort post. Was it really too difficult for you to Google: "youtube tesla robotaxis in Austin"? It took me about 7 seconds. There are lots of videos.
- thg 8mo agoIt was just another marketing stunt to pump the stock price before their terrible earnings report. One "unsupervised" unit, with the supervisor in a follow car, that nobody could actually get and drive around in. https://electrek.co/2026/01/28/teslas-unsupervised-robotaxis-vanish/ https://electrek.co/2026/01/28/teslas-unsupervised-robotaxis...
