It's very clearly Beta. No one claimed it's perfect/done/finished. Why is everyone so shocked that beta software has bugs?

We can certainly debate whether it's ethical to put beta software out on the public roads. Perhaps the Minimum Viable Product method isn't the best approach for transportation hardware.

But... surely we can all expect that beta software has bugs. So yes -- I expect it to be driving like a drunk 10yr old. Ideally that'll slowly improve as the software matures. That it made a mistake and has a bug isn't really news though.

Then it shouldn't be on public roads. Tesla could spend 3 billion dollars and build huge road complexes to test their stuff instead of putting the rest of us at risk.
