A passenger said his Tesla robotaxi missed a turn and tried to pull over on the highway
Robotaxis officially hit the streets of Dallas last week. Their arrival gave one enthusiastic passenger a glimpse of both the promise — and the limitations — of autonomous driving.
Chris Ramos, a 34-year-old accounts payable supervisor, told Business Insider that he rushed to try Tesla's service on Saturday after seeing posts online saying it was live. The launch came after Tesla began a similar driverless service in Austin in January, about 10 months after Waymo launched its service there.
Early reactions to Tesla's robotaxis have been mixed, with some riders praising the smooth, futuristic experience while others report glitches, confusion in traffic, and the need for human intervention. More broadly, public skepticism remains high, with many people still wary of safety and hesitant to trust fully autonomous vehicles
