Can we please stop calling it "robotaxi"? There's a fucking person being paid to sit in the car, who honestly has to be even more bored and awkward feeling than an uber driver. It's about as robotic as a carnival ride with some guy being paid to maybe press a red button.

God, I would love to see an AMA from one of these guys that have to sit in a seat with their hands folded staring at the road 8 hours a day.

You're skimming over the fact that the car is doing 99.999% of everything

Which means the safety driver is probably deeply bored and inattentive.

Sure, we'll see in the data soon enough how safe it is

Or maybe not.

Do you really trust a taxi service that opposes reporting accidents?

Talk to Elon. He has "Robotaxi" painted on the side of his vehicles.
