Tesla’s attempts to make a road robot for over a decade has apparently failed to see children in Austin in 2025, violently running them over as if their lives don’t matter.
In all eight tests, the self-driving Tesla did not slow as it approached the bus, struck the child-sized dummy and continued driving.
To be fair, Tesla engineers apparently have leaked that they never intended to avoid hitting children.
Self-driving Teslas only gained the ability to recognize school bus signs a few months ago, in December 2024.
Let THAT sink in for a second.
Teslas started driving themselves on American roads in October 2015.

Here’s a chilling detail about how Tesla’s newest hardware and software reacted after failing such a basic child safety test:
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software did not disengage or even alert the driver to the fact there had been a collision on any of the test runs.
Keep that in mind any time Tesla tries to claim that they have no evidence their car has been killing, or will kill even more, children. Of course they can say that, given they reportedly bury data faster than anyone can bury the dead children.
