Developing story here, new footage obtained by Bloomberg showing the alarming moments right before a pedestrian was struck and killed by a Tesla

using the company's full self-driving technology back in 2023.

Deirdre Bosa has more on why this video is raising new questions, Deirdre, just as Tesla gets ready to release its robo taxi onto the Austin roads. Yeah, I mean, the video itself is disturbing.

We're only going to show you a screenshot from it, but I'll tell you what the footage shows.

It's the Tesla rounding a curve into bright sun glare that would be hard even for a human to see,

failing to break for stopped traffic, hazard lights, or even a person waving it down. Now the pedestrian, a 71-year-old grandma, she was killed on impact.

And that kind of glare, it's one of the toughest challenges in autonomous driving.

And also one of the clearest cases where LIDAR outperforms cameras.

But Tesla's approach relies entirely on vision, so no LiDAR, no radar, just cameras and code.

And that makes safety, not speed or scalability, the real test here and the real test

when it rolls out later this month.

Now, self-driving accidents, they've shut down crews after $10 billion in funding from GM.

And it's why Uber abandoned its ambitions in 2020 after

another accident.

Now, it's also why Waymos Cocio, Takedra Amalcana, told me that their goal is to outperform

human drivers and why they built their system around redundancy, LIDAR, Raider, and vision.

Have a listen.

You have to be able to see at night. You have to be able to have this vision that's better

than humans. Right? Like we, what we're doing is we're replacing humans. We're not asking

you to sit behind the wheel and take over the vehicle at a really vulnerable moment. Instead,

we're inviting you to sit in the back seat, relax and unwind, and get safely to your destination.

That's a very different value proposition, but it's one that requires belts and suspenders.
