Tesla posted a highlight reel of its robotaxi avoiding collisions with rivals Waymo and Avride
Tesla posted video clips of its robotaxi slowing down for a Waymo robotaxi and an Avride vehicle driving into its path.
Tesla unveiled a video showcasing its robotaxi's navigation through real-world traffic, including encounters with rival companies Waymo and Avride. The clips displayed a Tesla robotaxi slowing down to avoid a Waymo vehicle attempting a wide right turn into its lane, as well as braking for an Avride car that had encroached too far into its path.
The footage, posted ahead of Tesla's Q3 earnings call, aimed to demonstrate the safety of its autonomous vehicle technology. Elon Musk's vice president of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, shared the video on X, referring to it as "Robotaxi B-roll." Tesla began offering limited autonomous rides without a safety driver in Austin in January, and plans to launch unsupervised Cybercabs in Dallas by November as part of its robotaxi service.
