Someone had the bright idea to setup a Robotaxi cage match in San Francisco. Waymo and Tesla were given the same route and only one of them didn’t break the law, didn’t run a red light.

During the last half-mile of the trip, the Tesla came to a stop at a red light, only to then drive through the intersection before the light turned green. […] “At this point,” they wrote, “we thought the winner was clear.”

To be clear, Tesla engineers occasionally have warned their libertarian/sovereign work ethic sees red lights and stop signs as government overreach and therefore optional.

Tesla is disabling a self-driving feature in nearly 54,000 vehicles that can prompt cars to autonomously perform a “rolling stop” — a maneuver in which the vehicle moves slowly through a stop sign without coming to a full stop.

As per a safety recall notice issued by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the consequence of this feature is that “failing to stop at a stop sign can increase the risk of a crash.”

In other words the latest Tesla Robotaxi algorithm in 2025 was leaking an integrity vulnerability, which is likely an intentional and very old design flaw.
