Tesla Robotaxi Austin Launch Busted for Disinformation

Electrek has been absolutely spot on with its reporting lately, exposing Tesla Robotaxi fraud. This example of disinformation caught my eye.

Meanwhile, safety professionals have been sidelined by Tesla lobbyists.

Under current Texas law, cities like Austin cannot regulate autonomous vehicles. […] Austin police confirmed to CBS Austin that they were not consulted ahead of Tesla’s launch plans. […] “They’re using the people of Austin as crash test dummies,” [Arthur Moulton, Project Coordinator with The Dawn Project] said. “This software isn’t safe, and it shouldn’t be on the public roads until these very basic safety defects are fixed.”
