In fairness to the robotaxi it doesn't drive into oncoming traffic. It does drive on the wrong side of the dividing line a bit, though humans have done worse.

That's pretty scary. I wonder how it would have reacted if there was a car trying to turn left in the lane it drove through.

I've only ridden in a few Teslas, and every time I'm usually watching the display because it's cool - but it's so jumpy when reading the road, it absolutely doesn't inspire confidence in its ability.
