Tesla’s robotaxi service has recorded a significant number of crashes, with 5 incidents reported in January, bringing the total to 14 in Austin. This crash rate is notably higher than the national average, with Tesla experiencing a rate four times worse than that of the average American driver, according to a report by Electrek.
The details of the crashes and the circumstances surrounding them are not specified, but the high frequency of incidents raises concerns about the safety and reliability of Tesla‘s autonomous driving technology. The fact that the crash rate is four times higher than the average American driver suggests that there may be issues with the system that need to be addressed.
The impact of these crashes on the development and deployment of Tesla‘s robotaxi service remains to be seen. As the company continues to test and refine its autonomous driving technology, it will be important to monitor the safety record and take steps to improve it. With the number of crashes already at 14 in Austin, Tesla will likely face increased scrutiny and pressure to demonstrate the safety and reliability of its robotaxi service.
