Nuevos datos revelan que conductores remotos estuvieron involucrados en choques de robotaxis de Tesla

Detalles recién publicados de informes federales sobre accidentes revelan que operadores remotos tenían el control durante al menos dos incidentes de robotaxis de Tesla en Austin, Texas. Los choques ocurrieron después de que la compañía comenzara a ofrecer viajes en junio de 2025.

Los datos de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en las Carreteras cubren 17 incidentes relacionados con robotaxis de Tesla entre julio de 2025 y marzo de 2026. En un suceso de julio de 2025, un operador remoto tomó el control después de que un monitor de seguridad solicitara ayuda, aceleró el vehículo y chocó contra una valla metálica. Un segundo choque en enero de 2026 mostró a un conductor remoto impactar contra una barrera de construcción a unas 9 millas por hora. Ambos vehículos llevaban un monitor de seguridad pero ningún pasajero en ese momento.
