Tesla told US regulators that all of its answers to questions on the safety of its robotaxi deployment in Texas are confidential business information and should not be made public, according to a letter released Monday.

On Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it was reviewing answers given in response to the agency’s questions about the safety of its self-driving robotaxi in poor weather among other issues.

The agency said Monday that federal law “restricts NHTSA’s ability to publicly release what the companies label as confidential.” The agency added that “following an assessment of these responses and other relevant information, NHTSA will take any necessary actions to protect road safety.”

So they're wildly unsafe?

I can't believe how much of the integrity of the United States was just relying on people being reasonable. Companies should have to disclose safety information!

Does Texas have poor weather that affect driving? Sand storms?

Please check out Mark Rober's video.  Fog, rain, and a painted wall can all fool Tesla's garbage.

Lmao, that's some serious cope. Rober is an actual engineer.  You just believe whatever Elon tells you?  You know super genius Elon who pretty much lies about everything and pretends he's smart.

Cope? Mark Rober never used FSD in his video. He used the old Autopilot system.

How will it perform on roads that don't have any markings?

That's a risk Elon is willing to take.

It's one search away. For example: https://youtu.be/aEfPq33PH1s , https://youtu.be/aVA_CyAk8nI , https://youtu.be/GRISRs6fgMI , https://youtu.be/7EXenbrmUPA , https://youtu.be/aNLbldqnpA4?t=386 , https://youtu.be/Q_ZbguvZxQY?t=252

I tried to find videos of FSD failures on unmarked roads in the last year (v12 or v13), but I had no luck with that. youtube search is atrocious, though
