The Tesla may have corrected itself on its own or under the influence of someone monitoring the ride remotely, but the in-car supervisor didn't appear to do anything. That's not the only instance of potentially unsafe driving Bloomberg spotted. Early riders have shared multiple instances of robotaxis going over the speed limit, though that might be more of a reflection of the cars driving around Tesla's vehicles than their collective need for speed. Waymo, which also operates in Austin, strictly follows the posted speed limit as a rule.
Tesla's Full Self-Driving system has been heavily criticized in anticipation of the company's robotaxi launch and the eventual introduction of its Cybercab, which doesn't have a steering wheel. Earlier in June, The Dawn Project staged a demonstration showing a self-driving Tesla plowing through child-sized mannequins eight times in a row. The company's Full Self-Driving system is also currently being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over its involvement in four different crashes.
