Watch @Tesla self-driving v14 Lite try to drive through a red light, forcing the driver to hit the brakes!

After more than a decade of development, @ElonMusk's self-driving software still can't understand basic rules of the road. It must be banned.

Elon's Mars is always a few years away.

By the dates:
2016: SpaceX plans to send Dragon to Mars "as soon as 2018."
2017: Elon targets cargo ships on Mars in 2022. "Not a typo," he says, though "aspirational."
2020: Elon is "highly confident" of humans on Mars "about six years

Watch @Tesla self-driving v14.3.10 clip the curb on a corner, ruining the owner’s brand new rim!

@ElonMusk is this the robotaxi version?

Dear Representative,

I am concerned by Tesla’s deployment of its experimental self-driving software on public roads. I note that data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that this technology has been implicated in over 1,000 crashes, dozens of which have been fatal. I urge you to act by calling for more stringent regulation of Tesla’s self-driving software. Tesla escapes the regulatory scrutiny we rightly place on other self-driving cars. I call on you to address this issue by demanding that Tesla is held to the same standards we demand of other self-driving vehicles.

Sincerely,
