Zoox co-founder on Tesla self-driving: ‘they don’t have technology that works’


Zoox co-founder and CTO Jesse Levinson doesn't believe Tesla will launch a robotaxi ride-hailing service in California (or anywhere else) next year

Zoox co-founder and CTO Jesse Levinson doesn’t believe Tesla will launch a robotaxi ride-hailing service in California (or anywhere else) next year despite what Elon Musk recently claimed. Levinson went further and specifically pointed to Tesla’s decision to rely solely on cameras to support its driver assistance system. Levinson went on to say he believes FSD is “about 100 times less safe than a human if you look at all the metrics that are publicly available.” (Tesla releases quarterly safety reports that claim its driver-assistance gets into fewer crashes than cars without it — though these self-reported statistics have been criticized as being selective.)
