Take a look at this. A Tesla Robotaxi in Austin pauses, seems to reconsider a right-hand turn through some bollards, and then decides: "I’m just gonna send it."

I actually looked into that...!

The Google Maps interface lets you see when the street was imaged. It's been that way since 2024, at least. A helpful Redditor shared the link to it.

I'm bad as an automotive journalist. What I lack in skill, I make up for with effort and comedic timing

Oh wow, that's cool. I didn't know they had date stamps on it like that. Definitely more than enough time to have updated the maps, especially since I believe Tesla uses data from google for navigation.
