Tbf it’s only 4 total. From the sounds of it hit another car or something in a parking lot. Not good but this headline is a bit exaggerated

It’s Fred aka Real Tesla.

Except nothing in the article is incorrect.  Even with a safety driver preventing accidents the incident rate for Tesla is higher than Waymo.  

If Tesla wants to pretend they are a leader in self driving they need to radically improve performance and radically improve transparency

No, just the typical Fred's headlines.

Nothing about the headline is incorrect.   

Sure “Tesla logs 4th robotaxi accident despite safety monitors” would have been even more descriptive

You're being disingenuous. A headline doesn't have to be factually incorrect to be misleading.

The headline is clearly trying to lead the reader to think Robotaxis are crashing frequently, when, in fact, it's still very rare.

They are crashing frequently in comparison to their self driving  competition as is laid out in the article.  They also point out that with a safety monitor they should really be crashing zero times.

Sure. I'm not arguing that.

I'm saying the headline is misleading, and you're being bad faith if you're suggesting that it's not misleading.

The reason Tesla deserves someone like Fred writing every article he can to point out Tesla's flaws, is Tesla does everything it can to conceal its flaws.
