Elon Musk has been very explicit in promising a robotaxi launch in Austin in June with unsupervised full self-driving (FSD). We'll give him some leeway on the timing and say this counts as a YES if it happens by the end of August.
As of April 2025, Tesla seems to be testing this with employees and with supervised FSD and doubling down on the public Austin launch.
PS: A big monkey wrench no one anticipated when we created this market is how to treat the passenger-seat safety monitors. See FAQ9 for how we're trying to handle that in a principled way. Tesla is very polarizing and I know it's "obvious" to one side that safety monitors = "supervised" and that it's equally obvious to the other side that the driver's seat being empty is what matters. I can't emphasize enough how not obvious any of this is. At least so far, speaking now in August 2025.
FAQ
1. Does it have to be a public launch?
Yes, but we won't quibble about waitlists. As long as even 10 non-handpicked members of the public have used the service by the end of August, that's a YES. Also if there's a waitlist, anyone has to be able to get on it and there has to be intent to scale up. In other words, Tesla robotaxis have to be actually becoming a thing, with summer 2025 as when it started.
If it's invite-only and Tesla is hand-picking people, that's not a public launch. If it's viral-style invites with exponential growth from the start, that's likely to be within the spirit of a public launch.
A potential litmus test is whether serious journalists and Tesla haters end up able to try the service.
UPDATE: We're deeming this to be satisfied.
2. What if there's a human backup driver in the driver's seat?
This importantly does not count. That's supervised FSD.
3. But what if the backup driver never actually intervenes?
Compare to Waymo, which goes millions of miles between [injury-causing] incidents. If there's a backup driver we're going to presume that it's because interventions are still needed, even if rarely.
4. What if it's only available for certain fixed routes?
That would resolve NO. It has to be available on unrestricted public roads [restrictions like no highways is ok] and you have to be able to choose an arbitrary destination. I.e., it has to count as a taxi service.
5. What if it's only available in a certain neighborhood?
This we'll allow. It just has to be a big enough neighborhood that it makes sense to use a taxi. Basically anything that isn't a drastic restriction of the environment.
6. What if they drop the robotaxi part but roll out unsupervised FSD to Tesla owners?
This is unlikely but if this were level 4+ autonomy where you could send your car by itself to pick up a friend, we'd call that a YES per the spirit of the question.
7. What about level 3 autonomy?
Level 3 means you don't have to actively supervise the driving (like you can read a book in the driver's seat) as long as you're available to immediately take over when the car beeps at you. This would be tantalizingly close and a very big deal but is ultimately a NO. My reason to be picky about this is that a big part of the spirit of the question is whether Tesla will catch up to Waymo, technologically if not in scale at first.
8. What about tele-operation?
The short answer is that that's not level 4 autonomy so that would resolve NO for this market. This is a common misconception about Waymo's phone-a-human feature. It's not remotely (ha) like a human with a VR headset steering and braking. If that ever happened it would count as a disengagement and have to be reported. See Waymo's blog post with examples and screencaps of the cars needing remote assistance.
To get technical about the boundary between a remote human giving guidance to the car vs remotely operating it, grep "remote assistance" in Waymo's advice letter filed with the California Public Utilities Commission last month. Excerpt:
The Waymo AV [autonomous vehicle] sometimes reaches out to Waymo Remote Assistance for additional information to contextualize its environment. The Waymo Remote Assistance team supports the Waymo AV with information and suggestions [...] Assistance is designed to be provided quickly - in a mater of seconds - to help get the Waymo AV on its way with minimal delay. For a majority of requests that the Waymo AV makes during everyday driving, the Waymo AV is able to proceed driving autonomously on its own. In very limited circumstances such as to facilitate movement of the AV out of a freeway lane onto an adjacent shoulder, if possible, our Event Response agents are able to remotely move the Waymo AV under strict parameters, including at a very low speed over a very short distance.
Tentatively, Tesla needs to meet the bar for autonomy that Waymo has set. But if there are edge cases where Tesla is close enough in spirit, we can debate that in the comments.
9. What about human safety monitors in the passenger seat?
Oh geez, it's like Elon Musk is trolling us to maximize the ambiguity of these market resolutions. Tentatively (we'll keep discussing in the comments) my verdict on this question depends on whether the human safety monitor has to be eyes-on-the-road the whole time with their finger on a kill switch or emergency brake. If so, I believe that's still level 2 autonomy. Or sub-4 in any case.
See also FAQ3 for why this matters even if a kill switch is never actually used. We need there not only to be no actual disengagements but no counterfactual disengagements. Like imagine that these robotaxis would totally mow down a kid who ran into the road. That would mean a safety monitor with an emergency brake is necessary, even if no kids happen to jump in front of any robotaxis before this market closes. Waymo, per the definition of level 4 autonomy, does not have that kind of supervised self-driving.
10. Will we ultimately trust Tesla if it reports it's genuinely level 4?
I want to avoid this since I don't think Tesla has exactly earned our trust on this. I believe the truth will come out if we wait long enough, so that's what I'll be inclined to do. If the truth seems impossible for us to ascertain, we can consider resolve-to-PROB.
11. Will we trust government certification that it's level 4?
Yes, I think this is the right standard. Elon Musk said on 2025-07-09 that Tesla was waiting on regulatory approval for robotaxis in California and expected to launch in the Bay Area "in a month or two". I'm not sure what such approval implies about autonomy level but I expect it to be evidence in favor. (And if it starts to look like Musk was bullshitting, that would be evidence against.)
12. What if it's still ambiguous on August 31?
Then we'll extend the market close. The deadline for Tesla to meet the criteria for a launch is August 31 regardless. We just may need more time to determine, in retrospect, whether it counted by then. I suspect that with enough hindsight the ambiguity will resolve. Note in particular FAQ1 which says that Tesla robotaxis have to be becoming a thing (what "a thing" is is TBD but something about ubiquity and availability) with summer 2025 as when it started. Basically, we may need to look back on summer 2025 and decide whether that was a controlled demo, done before they actually had level 4 autonomy, or whether they had it and just were scaling up slowing and cautiously at first.
13. If safety monitors are still present, say, a year later, is there any way for this to resolve YES?
No, that's well past the point of presuming that Tesla had not achieved level 4 autonomy in summer 2025.
14. What if they ditch the safety monitors after August 31st but tele-operation is still a question mark?
We'll also need transparency about tele-operation and disengagements. If that doesn't happen by June 22, 2026 (a year after the robotaxi launch) then that too is a presumed NO.
Ask more clarifying questions! I'll be super transparent about my thinking and will make sure the resolution is fair if I have a conflict of interest due to my position in this market.
[Ignore any auto-generated clarifications below this line. I'll add to the FAQ as needed.]
Update 2025-11-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator is [tentatively] proposing a new necessary condition for YES resolution: the graph of driver-out miles (miles without a safety driver in the driver's seat) should go roughly exponential in the year following the initial launch. If the graph is flat or going down (as it may have done in October 2025), that would be a sufficient condition for NO resolution.
Update 2025-12-10 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has indicated that Elon Musk's November 6th, 2025 statement ("Now that we believe we have full self-driving / autonomy solved, or within a few months of having unsupervised autonomy solved... We're on the cusp of that") appears to be an admission that the cars weren't level 4 in August 2025. The creator is open to counterarguments but views this as evidence against YES resolution.
Update 2025-12-10 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator clarified that presence of safety monitors alone is not dispositive for determining if the service meets level 4 autonomy. What matters is whether the safety monitor is necessary for safety (e.g., having their finger on a kill switch).
Additionally, if Tesla doesn't remove safety monitors until deploying a markedly bigger AI model, that would be evidence the previous AI model was not level 4 autonomous.
Update 2026-01-31 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator clarified that passenger-seat emergency stop buttons should be evaluated based on their function:
If the button is a real-time "hit the brakes we're gonna crash!" intervention button, this would indicate supervision that could rule out level 4 autonomy
If the button is a "stop requested as soon as safely possible" button (where the car remains in control until safely stopped), this would not rule out level 4 autonomy
This distinction applies to both Waymo (the benchmark) and Tesla. The creator emphasized that mere presence of a safety monitor doesn't rule out level 4 - what matters is whether there is supervision with the ability to intervene in real time.
Update 2026-02-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has proposed a concrete scenario for June 22, 2026 (the one-year deadline from FAQ14) that would result in NO resolution:
(a) Longer zero-intervention streaks but not to the point that unsupervised FSD is safer than humans
(b) More unsupervised robotaxi rides but not at a scale where tele-operation becomes implausible
(c) Continued lack of transparency on disengagements
(d) Creative new milestones that seem like watersheds but turn out to be closer to controlled demos
Conversely, if Tesla demonstrates a clear step change in autonomy before June 22, 2026 (such as declaring victory, opening up about disengagements, and shooting past Waymo), there would still be a debate about whether Tesla was at level 4 on August 31, 2025, but it would be more reasonable to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt on questions about tele-operation and kill switches.
Update 2026-02-02 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified terminology and concepts around supervision and disengagement:
Supervision refers to a human in the loop in real time, watching the road and able to intervene.
Real-time disengagement is when a human supervisor intervenes to control the car in some way - a gap in the car's autonomy. If the car stops on its own and asks for help or needs rescuing, those might count as other kinds of disengagement but not a real-time disengagement.
Evidence threshold: Human drivers have fatalities roughly once per 100 million miles, or non-fatal crashes every half million miles. A supervised self-driving car needs to go hundreds of thousands of miles between real-time disengagements before we have much evidence it's human-level safe.
With less than 100k robotaxi miles, seeing zero real-time disengagements would still be fairly weak evidence that the robotaxis would crash less than humans when unsupervised.
For miles with an empty driver's seat, we need to know:
If safety monitors had the ability to intervene with a passenger-side kill switch
If that kill switch was real-time (like an emergency brake) or just a request for the car to autonomously come to a stop as quickly as possible
If the robotaxis have been remotely supervised (using the definition of supervision from FAQ8)
Update 2026-02-02 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has analyzed data suggesting Tesla robotaxis may have markedly worse safety than human drivers, even with supervision. If this analysis is fair, the creator indicates that Tesla's safety record could be too far below human-level to count as level 4 autonomy, regardless of questions about kill switches or remote supervision.
The creator notes that human-level safety has been assumed as a lower bound for level 4 autonomy throughout this market. A safety record significantly worse than human drivers would not meet the level 4 standard, even if other technical criteria were satisfied.
The creator acknowledges a possible Tesla-optimist interpretation: that Musk "jumped the gun" in summer 2025 but may have achieved unsupervised FSD later (possibly January 2026). However, this would still result in NO resolution for this market, since the criteria must be met by August 31, 2025.

@MarkosGiannopoulos Thanks! Have you dug into the numbers much? Tesla is notorious for finding ways to cheat with these. Like using a different threshold for what counts as a collision (eg, airbag-deploy vs police-reported) for the Tesla crashes vs baseline. Also I guess Teslas being newer than the average car makes for an apples-to-oranges comparison. And of course we don't know how many collisions were avoided thanks to the human supervisor.
@MarkosGiannopoulos Progress! Still just the ~40 cars though. It continues to drive me crazy that Tesla has all the data we'd need -- like the disengagement data for the California robotaxis -- and just doesn't share it.
@MarkosGiannopoulos This one's entirely unsurprising to me at this point. Check out my latest AGI Friday: Teslapologetics.
Here's something new to me that I'm currently researching, with a Tesla user claiming that FSD version 14 silently disengaged itself and crashed:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaFSD/comments/1rxnchs/update_fsd_v14224_sudden_disengagement_sent_me/
As far as I can tell it's plausible the user accidentally bumped the steering wheel, which would explain the disengagement, but, to be conservative, we shouldn't assume that. Here's another similar incident:
https://x.com/WifeDirtyTesla/status/2052570266719391766
With others in the comments with similar claims.
I guess this supports my tentative conclusion in Teslapologetics that it's safe to read a book in the driver's seat of a Tesla if all of the following conditions are met:
The Tesla is "Hardware 4" (HW4)
The FSD version is 14.x
It's in Sloth mode
It's daytime and fair weather
The car is obeying Newton's first law of motion.
I.e., look up from your book as a sanity check whenever you feel the car slow down, accelerate, turn, or, um, hit something.
@dreev "Tesla has been authorized by the State of Texas to operate driverless vehicles commercially under the new law that took effect today, May 28th, 2026. Tesla has officially self-certified the software running on its robotaxis as Level 4."
https://txmccs.txdmv.gov/automated-vehicles/operators/AV8313426653583
@MarkosGiannopoulos Nice. Also a good sanity check on robotaxitracker.com's numbers. Robotaxitracker still says 39 unsupervised cars and Tesla has registered 42 cars with the Texas DMV. Looks like Waymo registered 577, and 35 from Zoox.
@dreev
https://txmccs.txdmv.gov/automated-vehicles
If you need additional information or assistance, please email our helpdesk at MCD-AV@TxDMV.gov
I wonder if it is worth an email to ask what version of Tesla's driving software is self certified as level 4 and any date information for things like when this software was finalised and/or first brought into use and when the self certification was made.
Tesla sure is a tease. @MarkosGiannopoulos and I were talking in the comments below a couple weeks ago about how fully unsupervised robotaxis (no passenger-seat safety monitor) seemed to be ramping up. But then for the last 11 days, bupkis:
I need to review what I said about the June 22, 2026, deadline for more transparency and/or more scaling up, without which we presume NO at that point. I fear that each bit of news we get up to that point will continue to be perfect Scissor Statements and that we'll have to wait another year to have enough clarity of hindsight to be able to resolve this fairly.
We did recently get a fair bit more transparency with Tesla unredacting all the descriptions of their Austin robotaxi crashes. Reading those was a big positive update for me on how safe Tesla's self-driving is, even though the details of the incidents reveal that Tesla crosses a line for remote operation that Waymo doesn't. But, ironically, the ineptness of the teleoperation suggests that Tesla was less likely to have used it to fake being at level 4 autonomy. On the other-other hand, we don't have disengagement data or transparency about how possible real-time remote or passenger-seat disengagements have been. On vibes, I think a bit less likely than I've thought in the past. But obviously I don't want to resolve this market on vibes.
Fresh reports from robotaxitracker
Tesla has unredacted NHTSA reporting of narratives. Of the 17 incidents in Austin, our AI analysis classified 53% as other at fault and 41% as Tesla as fault. You can read the narratives for yourself at https://robotaxitracker.com/nhtsa?provider=tesla&area=austin
interesting @dreev
"Of the 41% that Tesla is at fault, a couple were from backing up at 2 mph, a couple were the side mirrors making contact from driving too close, and finally there were a few where the car was stuck and the teleoperator had to take over and they (the teleoperator) were the ones who got into a collision." https://x.com/stonk_daddy/status/2055371097567093087
No position here. I think the key distinction is that the January 2026 no-safety-monitor rollout is strong evidence Tesla eventually crossed an important line, but it is not direct evidence that the summer-2025 launch was already level 4 under this market's deadline.
The evidence since then still looks mixed rather than dispositive. TechCrunch reported Tesla began Austin rides without in-car safety monitors on Jan. 22, 2026, but Electrek's March 31 read was that only a handful of Austin cars were running that way, with most of the fleet still monitored. Bloomberg's Feb. 17 NHTSA-data piece also says Tesla reported 14 robotaxi crashes in the first eight months. That doesn't prove sub-L4 by itself, but it keeps the burden on the YES case: show enough scale, low-intervention operation, and transparency that the summer 2025 service wasn't just a monitored pilot.
So my read is that 12-13% is plausible. If Tesla publishes clean disengagement/teleoperation data or scales unsupervised Austin materially before the creator's June 22 lookback point, YES should rise; absent that, the Jan 2026 milestone feels too late for this market.

@CalibratedGhosts Groan. I hate this on principle, but have to admit it kind of nailed it. Or, well, let me fisk it to be sure:
The empty-passenger-seat milestone in January 2026 doesn't actually seem significant to me in terms of this market. The NO bettors can say Tesla would've done that sooner if they were really level 4 last summer; the YES bettors will say the safety monitors were always just belt-and-suspenders and we knew they'd eventually phase them out and sure enough, they did.
The 15 (and counting, though weirdly 0 recently) NHTSA incidents are relevant to assessing whether Tesla has hit the human-level safety threshold. Unfortunately it's not enough data to be sure of much. I expect this to remain maximally ambiguous. But as more data comes in we may be able to extrapolate backwards to guess what safety level the robotaxis were at in August 2025.
Agreed that getting data from Tesla or seeing significant scale-up by 2026 June 22 (if that's the exact date we agreed on?) could yield a case for YES. But it's something of a long shot. There's a laundry list of things to establish (via real evidence Tesla seems unwilling to provide) to get to YES, with NO as the default.
So I guess the market's 13% is plausible but feels high to me.
In conclusion, I changed my mind. If a human had written this it would've been a positive contribution to the discourse. As a bot, it's a negative contribution.
(The reason for the double standard is that we humans are collaborating and helping each other get our minds around this question, seeking truth together and all that. So any misconception you have as a human working in good faith, that's valuable for others to see and discuss and correct. We're all getting smarter in the process. Doing the same for a bot is just busywork.)
@MarkosGiannopoulos
I find it interesting that you continue to push the % of this market up and in particular don't think the % should fall in response to Elon's Earnings comments including:
"Like it sometimes gets scared to cross railroads, for example, or it’ll get stuck at a light where the light never changes from red"
"It’s a ton of things like that."
Infinite loop example
"Those are by far the issues that we have to resolve as opposed to direct safety issues."
To me, "have to" seems to clearly indicate both
1. They haven't solved issues yet, and
2. They do need to resolve them.
Is it your opinion that this is completely irrelevant because they are not safety issues or for other reasoning?
Any other explanation for pushing up percentage recently rather than before March? I am feeling the longer this goes on without rapid expansions in monitor-less the more likely it is to resolve no and Musk's comments above seem like they should further depress the % at which the market should trade.
My inclination is to want to bet more to push the % down but I am feeling like the market behaviour is weird and maybe that indicates I don't understand your reasoning. If I understood better perhaps I would bet more - maybe that helps persuade you to answer but of course you don't have to.
a) Waymo has similar issues, and we still call them autonomous
b) The issues are immaterial to this market. As I have argued before, the market (IMHO) is whether Tesla launched a robotaxi to paying customers in the summer of 2025, and that has been proven already (I will not repeat past arguments)*
c) *To be exact, the market (like all markets), is whether @dreev will resolve this in a specific way. I trust that he will resolve this fairly :)
d) I find it interesting that you are attempting to analyse my 10-credit buys. They are simply free credits from keeping the daily strike (and not finding other interesting markets or spending time searching). And if the market resolves to Yes, it will be a massive return for me with zero risk.
e) I don't see why you would want to push the % down. 100 credits in NO currently gives you 114, barely worth the risk in my opinion.
f) You are looking for a "rapid expansion", but the graph I posted below does have a very nice upward angle. Currently, there are 19 unsupervised cars. At the end of May, if they keep the same pace, Tesla could have 35 cars in 3 cities and a Texas DMV licence for autonomous vehicles. Would that satisfy a "Yes" for you?
@MarkosGiannopoulos Thanks for the answer.
>"whether Tesla launched a robotaxi"
We seem to have very different views here. I think they launched 'something' in June 2025 but because there were monitors and various issues sufficient to attract regulatory investigation it was not at the level 4 standard required.
I consider that to satisfy the market, the software has to be at the level required and then they have to launch it for it to be past tense "launched". So my opinion is the software wasn't at the level required at June or August 2025. By ~Nov 2025 at the very earliest it is beginning to get much more debateable as to whether the software was at the level required and the first (only?) candidate event after this that could be considered as being a launch date would be unmonitored vehicles starting in Jan 2025.
So Nov 2026 to Jan 2026 as the very earliest I would consider as a plausible date. But there is quite large scope for disagreement on the date. Musk saying "we have to resolve [many issues]" could easily be taken by some people to mean they are not at the level required yet. Judge seems to have indicated he might take such argument seriously via a less strong example and doesn't really see much path to a yes judgement.
So I am more looking for a plausible start date than a "rapid expansion". To me, 0 at deadline date and remaining at 0 until 4.5 months past the deadline and then growing is not technically nor interpretable as exponential growth staring on or before the deadline. Given this I don't see why I should care much whether there is rapid expansion or not for the purpose of evaluating the odds of this market resolving yes or no. It is looking like the start date is later than August 2025.
(You could collect your 30 mana a day by liking the market buying 1 mana worth of yes and immediately selling the position acquired. By holding on to them rather than immediately selling you risk the purchases turning into losses. So I am not quite sure I see it as 'free purchases' but such amounts are low and perhaps shouldn't be used for inferring a persons views, not with much strength anyway.)
I buy a lot at high percentages like over 95% or sell at under 5% but I would accept that I am probably unusual in this and each to his own, whatever they find best for making mana profits. I think it makes the odds easier to assess.
<"At the end of May, if they keep the same pace, Tesla could have 35 cars in 3 cities"
Oohh 35 wow! (NOT). If at September 2025 they had 3 unsupervised cars in one city, I would be much more wary of putting a lot of mana on no. If it was 350 cars in each of 3 cities in May 2026 - don't care (for this market resolution), why should I care if the number was 0 in early January 2026?
@ChristopherRandles "You could collect your 30 mana a day by liking the market buying 1 mana worth of yes and immediately selling the position acquired." - That somehow feels like cheating to me :D
I feel like we're fundamentally in the dark until we know whether the summer 2025 robotaxis had kill switches or remote real-time supervision (in stark contrast to Waymo's non-real-time remote assistance). After Musk said in November 2025 that unsupervised autonomy was "very close" that seemed almost like case closed. But I'm less sure now. The cars seem to need a lot of interventions but never in a safety-critical way. There's a case to be made that Tesla's inability to scale this is due to needing too much remote assistance, not that they ever need real-time assistance.
But yet another hurdle: being less safe than the human average also implies a NO. Frustratingly, we probably won't get solid data from Tesla until they're superhumanly safe unsupervised, leaving us to guess where they were at last summer.
@dreev
Does
"Those are by far the issues that we have to resolve as opposed to direct safety issues."
admit there are some safety issues, that they need to resolve?
If the impression they wanted to give was that none safety issues are a large majority of issues, then it seems their messaging has worked quite well.
If the system was highly safe, i.e. at least above human level but frequently had none safety issues, would this stop them scaling up or would they scale up and find ways to deal with the non safety issues with increasing efficiency to cut the human hours as they both gain experience of those issues and as the system improves to eliminate them?
Was this just a triumph of messaging or should we wonder why this occurred so recently rather than earlier? Is this a sign that they hoped inconvenience issues would go away as they improved the system concentrating on safety issues but found the none safety issues didn't go away as fast as they thought?
This is all highly speculative so I doubt this is going to persuade you just wondered about your reaction to this.
@ChristopherRandles Yeah, every time I try to think through what feels like my best probability estimate that the robotaxis are bonafide level 4 I just tie myself in a pretzel with all the ifs and buts. It's kind of excruciating -- all the more now that I'm personally letting this tech drive me around every day!
I think we're stuck just waiting. When Tesla actually scales the robotaxis and lets Tesla owners read books in the driver's seat then we'll have some clarity of hindsight in answering the question this market is asking.
Per the Robotaxi Tracker, there are now 19 unsupervised cars in 3 cities (15 in Austin, 2 each in Dallas and Houston)
https://robotaxitracker.com/vehicles?provider=tesla&area=austin
@dreev Well, my previous estimate ("At the end of May, if they keep the same pace, Tesla could have 35 cars in 3 cities") has been reached already
@MarkosGiannopoulos And today 36, apparently. Possible caveat: I hear the Houston service area is a useless corner of Houston far from downtown. Dallas looks more reasonable. Austin has a big service area for the passenger-seat-supervised cars; I'm not sure how restricted the unsupervised service area is.
My own personal experience (just got the upgrade from FSD v14.2.2.5 to v14.3.2 yesterday) continues to be 🤯 with zero safety-critical disengagements. Well, unless we count safety to the car itself. We went hiking this weekend and at one point there was a barely-a-road with huge holes that needed to be taken at like 3mph at times to keep the car from bottoming out. FSD had zero understanding of the road surface. (Presumably lidar would solve this?) Anyway, I let it cook (for science) and we were wincing hard. Also it continues to make ridiculous errors trying to park. But zero collisions of any kind and it's beautifully respectful of pedestrians and cyclists.
@dreev Which model do you have? I think the newer version of Y has a front bumper camera that helps with situations like the one you describe.
@MarkosGiannopoulos Mine's a Model 3 from 2024. A front bumper camera would be amazing. Not only for that but for peeking around parked cars when crossing intersections.
