Austin's streets just became a testing ground for a troubling question: Can we really trust AI behind the wheel?



Since August, autonomous taxis have blown past school bus stop signs 20 times. Picture this—red lights flashing, stop arms extended, kids stepping off the bus. Yet the vehicles kept rolling.

The company behind these robo-taxis? They announced updates on November 17th, but operations continue. No pause. No pullback.

When machine learning meets real-world safety protocols, who draws the line? The tech sounds revolutionary until it's your neighborhood, your school zone, your kid crossing the street.

Self-driving promises efficiency. But at what cost when the code can't recognize a basic traffic rule designed to protect children?

From the quantitative data, this isn’t a technical issue—it’s a risk management meltdown. Running a red light 20 times? According to historical models, this wave of negative sentiment will directly break through the support level of the autonomous driving sector. --- Yet another "we will improve" promise, but still continuing operations? That’s just absurd. In market cycles, this is called a false breakout, and a pullback is inevitable. --- To put it plainly, the machine learning model is still learning basic rules during live testing? No one is even pricing in this risk exposure—everyone getting on board is just gambling. --- Historical data tells us that after any automated system’s first major crash, subsequent financing and valuations will get cut in half. Now the logic for being bearish on this sector is solid. --- See, this is why I give all "revolutionary technologies" a 20% haircut. The code can’t recognize a stop sign? Then what can it recognize? --- Wait, the real issue isn’t AI—it’s the regulatory vacuum. With no one hitting the brakes, capital just keeps hitting the gas. This is a sign of structural imbalance in the market. --- My quantitative model has started to flag this sector with a red warning. Safety incidents + public pressure = liquidity risk, and institutions will be the first to exit.

Emma, 20 times? Still going? Isn't this just using kids as beta testers?

Forget it, autonomous driving hasn't even learned the basic school bus rules yet, and it's already rushing to operate in residential areas. This isn't a revolution, it's a gamble.

Damn, self-driving cars dare to force their way through school zones? Isn't this just using children's lives for beta testing?
