It wouldn't make sense for the robotaxis to ever disengage in the same way that you might've seen in FSD videos.
I'm guessing that they just stop if they ever encounter a situation where they don't know what to do.

Human drivers don't get the luxury of disengaging and having a more skilled driver take over when they're struggling. If Tesla FSD drives for 100km before overwhelming glare causes the system to disengage, that'll go on record as "100km driven without accident", but when the human driver is blinded by the same glare and ends up in an accident 5km later, that'll go on record as 1 accident per 5km driven for the human driver.
Oh my god that’s terrifying if true. I can think of many situations when driving when slamming on the breaks is the absolute wrong choice. Tesla is pushing this out way before it’s safe enough to operate in public.
1. Keep driving in some way
2. Stop
Which one do you think Waymo (or any other system) does when it doesn't understand a situation?
