Some important counter-points:

- FSD has been failing this test publicly for almost three years, including in a Super Bowl commercial. It strains credulity to imagine that they have a robust solution that they haven't bothered to use to shut up their loudest critic.

- The Robotaxi version of FSD is reportedly optimized for a small area of austin, and is going to extensively use tele-operators as safety drivers. There is no evidence that Robotaxi FSD isn't "supposed" to be used with human supervision, its supervision will just be subject to latency and limited spatial awareness.

- The Dawn Project's position is that FSD should be completely banned because Tesla is negligent with regard to safety. Having a test coincide with the Robotaxi launch is good for publicity but the distinction isn't really relevant because the fundamental flaw is with the companies approach to safety regardless of FSD version.

- Tesla doesn't have an inalienable right to test 2-ton autonomous machines on public roads. If they wanted to demonstrate the safety of the robotaxi version they could publish the reams of tests they've surely conducted and begin reporting industry standard metrics like miles per critical disengagement.
