We’re getting the first videos of “select guests” getting access to Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Austin, and the level of polish leaves something to be desired.

For instance, one gaggle of Tesla influencers was dropped off directly in an intersection, leading to these wooly screenshots.

Are these cheaper or is it just Uber etc trying to maximise their profits by cutting out the salary bit?

This has always been Uber's goal, it's why they've shovelled literally billions into self-driving research.
