Tesla's Robotaxis Blow Through School Zones, NHTSA Petition Alleges

It looks like there are 3 alleged incidents, not 1,000. That figure is the number of total Robotaxis.

Did the author even read the petition?

Probably just re-enacting the training data.

Just couple of billions of miles of driving data more and they'll be good to go!

My FSD 14.3 car definitely does NOT respect school zones. Maybe I’m weird, but whether or not I have the car in “Hurry” mode, I expect a hard cutoff at speed limit for a school zone of myself or anything acting on my behalf. I could understand the semantics around “Mad Max” not respecting the signage, but still. Bro. Slow down in a school zone.

would rust have fixed this?

I have heard of small towns that generated income by running speed traps. There was a notorious one near where I am from where the speed limit changed like a dozen times seemingly randomly over the course of a couple miles. Maybe someday we will see some enterprising sheriff set up some trap for Tesla robotaxis and fund their local government by fining Elon. They can beta test it by sticking a cop at the nearest school right now!

Tesla/Musk has stated many times that FSD will follow common practice rather than follow the letter of the law. Over 90% of Americans speed in school zones, so FSD is presumably programmed to also do so.

Most school zones (if not all of them) should be eliminated.
