Electrek [Unofficial]Tesla finally reveals what happened in 17 ‘Robotaxi’ crashes
The Bad PlaceFeed: All Latest | Tesla Reveals New Details About Robotaxi Crashes—and the Humans Involved by Aarian Marshall
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Tesla recently disclosed details of 17 robotaxi incidents recorded between July 2025 and March 2026, highlighting two crashes in Austin where “safety monitors” seated in the vehicles asked for remote assistance and were then driven by remote workers into a metal fence and a construction barricade at speeds under 10 mph; both incidents caused only minor or no injuries. The reports underscore the role of human backstops in autonomous vehicle operations and raise concerns about the safety and visibility of remote teleoperators, especially given inconsistent cellular connectivity and latency issues. Tesla’s robotaxi service, operating in Austin, Dallas, and Houston with fewer than 100 vehicles and often with a safety monitor present, remains much smaller than competitors like Waymo, and the company’s frequent reliance on remote drivers distinguishes it from the industry norm of providing only advisory input.
BBC News | Thousands of Waymos recalled after robotaxi swept into a creek

Waymo is voluntarily recalling nearly 3,800 of its U.S. robotaxis that use the company’s fifth‑ and sixth‑generation automated‑driving systems after a software flaw could let the vehicles drive into flooded roads—a problem highlighted by an April 20 incident in San Antonio, Texas, where an empty Waymo car entered a flooded street and was swept into a creek, prompting a temporary suspension of the local service until a fix is deployed. The recall, announced via an NHTSA letter, includes temporary software updates that limit operation in extreme weather, and Waymo says the fixes will allow the San Antonio fleet to resume public rides. The company, which logs more than 500,000 trips weekly across cities such as San Francisco, Austin and Miami, is also working on additional safeguards and aims to launch a robotaxi service in London by September. Experts note that autonomous‑vehicle systems have inherent operational limits that become evident when failures occur, and past incidents—including a 2025 power outage in San Francisco that halted Waymo taxis and an April outage of Apollo Go robots in Wuhan—underscore the growing safety challenges as the technology scales.

"
Tesla FSD cleared NL, but EU approval far from certain
"
"The Dutch approval was supposed to be Tesla's bridgehead into Europe, but leaked regulator emails suggest it may be an outlier amid wider scepticism."
