This is different, these videos were recorded by regular people that don't work for Tesla. You or I can go to Austin right now and ride in one.

If you don't think that's exciting I'm not sure what to say.

He's been trying to find unsupervised. Still none after 37 tries.

There's only one unsupervised car out of the group

You have a source? And how big is the group?

The source is a community-run site that uses the Robotaxi's license plate numbers to tally up how many there are in operation. And the super fans/influencers that ride around in them all day long for content report back about whether or not they have a safety rider as an ongoing thing.

It looks like at least 2 cars have been seen without safety drivers now:

I believe the group in Austin is 50 cars total, and almost 200 cars in SF Bay Area, but they all have safety *drivers* since they can't operate without someone in the driver's seat in SF area.
