Part 4/11:
Erratic Steering Maneuver: One of the more alarming episodes involved the robo-taxi attempting a left turn but suddenly pulling to the right, with no safety driver intervention. Although infrequent and possibly an edge case, this raised questions about the system’s decision-making processes.
Drop-off Misstep: The vehicle dropped a passenger in the middle of the road or at an awkward position, highlighting the current limitations in precise curbside drop-offs.
While these incidents are not catastrophic—most occurred at low speeds and involve slight property risks—they underscore that the system is still in a formative stage, learning to handle complex real-world situations.
