Tesla will likely reveal its long-awaited, much-debated autonomous robotaxi at the Warner Bros. movie studio in Los Angeles .

The 110-acre lot contains over two dozen sound stages, including fake suburban towns that could be an ideal location to test a not-quite-ready-for-primetime autonomous vehicle.

A Tesla software hacker known online as @greentheonly noted that the company had started gathering mapping data in and around the movie studio a few days prior to the report.

There are glaring holes in Tesla ’s approach to self-driving.

To date, the company has been unwilling to accept any liability for crashes involving its driver-assistance features, Autopilot and Full Self-Driving.

This suggests that the company's efforts at developing a truly autonomous system are being misapplied.
