US safety regulators contact Tesla over erratic robotaxis

Despite the importance Musk places on his robotaxi project, Sunday's launch was low key. A small group of invited analysts, influencers and shareholders participated in paid rides. Musk congratulated Tesla's artificial intelligence and chip design teams on the launch in a post on X, external, writing that it was "culmination of a decade of hard work". However, social media footage seems to show the vehicles struggled with real world driving scenarios. One video seems to show a robotaxi stopping abruptly as it passes a parked police car.
