Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. (fuelarc.com)

It's not hard to find videos of self-driving Teslas wilding in bus lanes. Check the videos out, then consider:

"There was an interesting side-note in Tesla’s last earnings call, where they explained the main challenge of releasing Full-Self Driving (supervised!) in China was a quirk of Chinese roads: the bus-only lanes.

Well, jeez, we have bus-only lanes here in Chicago, too. Like many other American metropolises… including Austin TX, where Tesla plans to rollout unsupervised autonomous vehicles in a matter of weeks..."

It's one of those regional differences to driving that make a generalizable self-driving platform an exceedingly tough technical nut to crack... unless you're willing to just plain ignore the local rules.

All I'm saying is that none have been proven to have actually killed anyone yet in a court of law, and that your claim of 57 FSD/Autopilot caused deaths is bogus for all the reasons I listed.

Even if FSD has killed people - which it likely has - is it at any rate higher than normal people in non FSD cars crash and kill people? Given how Teslas are one of the highest selling cars in the world for the last what, 10 years, and how many people use Autpilot or FSD multiple times a day, even if 57 people had been killed by it, that would still be probably no more than the number of people that drive any other model of car with the same amount of sales during that timeframe.
