This podcast episode uncovers insights from a report revealing Tesla’s controversial approach to self-driving technology testing, known as the "Rodeo" project. Interviews with former Tesla test drivers indicate that the project pushes the boundaries of safety by allowing the system to make dangerous mistakes to collect data. We explore the implications of this strategy, which has led to incidents such as running red lights and near-collisions, and how it contrasts sharply with more controlled testing practices used by competitors like Waymo. Are speed and data collection taking precedence over public safety? Tune in to find out.
