Are robotaxis the future? Or now in the past?
The robotaxi companies have been more than just a bit misleading to both the public and the regulators. Untruths or downright lies? You decide…

Teslarati reports that Tesla faked yet another demo, but the fanboys ate it up as they always do. Once again, Tesla proves itself to not be a tech or AI company, but instead just a colossal grift.
OregonLive reports on how lawsuits on Tesla's "Self-driving" system are reaching a crescendo. Still, Tesla is usually coming out unscathed due to them successfully blaming the driver for foolishly believing that FSD is actually Self Driving.
Two-part video that is a brutal and in depth takedown of Elon Musk's robotaxi fakery. Quite educational. And a short bonus video at the end.
1) Tesla is acknowledging they cannot create level-5 autonomy and that instead teleoperation needs to be used; 2) they currently do not have teleoperation infrastructure; and 3) they don't seem to understand that one cannot remotely drive a vehicle, but instead can only give instructions, as Waymo does.
Even the Optimus robot toy appears to be some more Tesla fakery, on which to support all their other fakery
Paris Marx reports in dazeen how we are currently going through yet another hype cycle with self-driving cars. This will definitely not help solve our transportation issues.

This is likely the biggest autonomous traffic jam ever! Thanks for nothing, Waymo.
Waymo is once again being misleading. This time, not only are their vehicles zero emission, but they are also claiming that they encourage public transit use.
Streetsblog reports on a new paper from researchers at Duke, Stanford, U-C Berkeley and the University of Chicago. The paper describes why electric vehicles are only slightly better than ones with internal combustion engines, and that therefore EV subsidies should be rethought. This is very relevant to robotaxis since the companies falsely claim that they are beneficial to society because they are EVs.
