Silicon Valley wants us to believe that their autonomous products are a kind of self-guided magic, but the technology is clearly not there yet. A quick peak behind the curtain has consistently revealed a product base that, at a minimum, is still deeply reliant on human workforces.

A Waymo looks like this. The Tesla robotaxi looks like this - see anything missing?
That's right, all the sensors and hardware required to make safe, functioning autonomous car.

As long as Tesla keeps listening to the fundamentally flawed idea of Musk that "Humans drive using only their eyes, therefore autonomous cars don't require anything except a camera", they are destined to fail, as that system can't prevent crashing into things if it doesn't understand what it is looking at.

Isn't it illegal to drive with headphones on?

I'm sure it varies by location but deaf/hearing impaired people can get a driver's license. Usually requires they wear an aid, or have full view mirrors if they are completely deaf.
