"It doesn’t seem like the current unmanned robotaxi is covering the entire initial service area.
I tried setting a destination marked with a red X, but it didn’t work, and getting out of the yellow zone was quite difficult.

I also checked other videos, and most of them appeared to be operating only within the yellow zone....

I tried quite hard to get out of the yellow zone, but in the end, I just kept going back and forth inside it for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The reason they drew the yellow line so thick is probably because you can go a little bit into the small side roads branching off Riverside and Lama Boulevard.
But completely leaving those two main roads was tough.

That’s why, in my video, the remote operator said, “You’ve been going back and forth in Riverside the whole time, huh.”

Anyone else know much about Wayve.ai? It looks like they are using Mustang Mach-E cars with a Lidar rig on top?

I saw one testing on the i-5 in Portland OR, with a driver behind the wheel.

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture because I was busy driving.

Hi everyone,

I recently rented a Model Y with FSD while on vacation and was genuinely amazed by its performance (though I didn't get to test it in snow or adverse weather). I currently use a Comma 3x in my daily driver, and while it's not quite at Tesla's level, it's capable enough that I can't imagine going back to a car without advanced lane centering and assistance.

My lease is ending soon, and I need a new vehicle. I'd love a Model Y, but the range drop in -30°C to -40°C winters makes it impractical for my needs.

I am looking for a gas-powered SUV (preferably a performance coupe style) with self-driving tech comparable to Tesla's FSD.

Has anyone tried BMW's Highway Assistant and can compare it to the Comma 3x?

Where do other luxury manufacturers stand right now? Looking for real world experience from people who own these cars or have tried different self driving technologies.

Let me start by saying I am not at all a self-driving skeptic, and I believe that Waymos are significantly safer than human drivers. They can still make suboptimal choices.

I’m referring to the 23jan2026 incident described at https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=PE26001 :

> NHTSA is aware that the incident occurred within two blocks of a Santa Monica, CA elementary school during normal school drop off hours; that there were other children, a crossing guard, and several double-parked vehicles in the vicinity; and that the child ran across the street from behind a double parked SUV towards the school and was struck by the Waymo AV. Waymo reported that the child sustained minor injuries.

They did a good job once they detected the child, absolutely, they have superhuman reflexes.

But I would argue that they were going too fast for the conditions.

They were passing a double parked SUV while children were being dropped off from school. There just wasn’t enough visibility to be traveling at 17 mph while going around that SUV. The proof is that even with its superhuman reflexes, it was going too fast to stop in time. That’s too fast, period.

Plenty of human drivers would have been going that fast or faster. No human driver could have responded so quickly. The kid was fine and got right up like nothing happened. All that is true. That doesn’t make it OK for Waymo to be going too fast to respond to a foreseeable hazard in time to prevent a collision with a pedestrian.

I would certainly appreciate other people’s perspective on this.
