Self-Driving Tesla Nearly Hits Oncoming Train, Raises New Concern On Car's Safety ( lemmy.zip )

Craig Doty II, a Tesla owner, narrowly avoided a collision after his vehicle, in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode, allegedly steered towards an oncoming train.

Nighttime dashcam footage from earlier this month in Ohio captured the harrowing scene: Doty's Tesla rapidly approaching a train with no apparent deceleration. He insisted his Tesla was in Full Self-Driving mode when it barreled towards the train crossing without slowing down.

Feels like these things were more capable a decade ago when they had radar.

Not that they should be called "full self driving" either then or now, but at least radar can deal fog better than regular ass cameras

This is showing it works or no? I can't tell and there isn't audio, it seems like it would be stopped correctly.

Definitely shows it working.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe the weird flashing lights on the screen was maybe being pointed to as not working right or something to that effect? Idk lol no context provided at all

TFW even your Tesla thinks your Elon fanboy tweets are insufferable.

I hope Tesla owners only get themselves killed.

What a horrible thing to say, especially since Elon and Tesla have only relatively recently turned to absolute shit. There are a lot of Tesla drivers that don't support what he has done to the company and all that.

Here you are advocating for the death of people because they purchased a vehicle. A lot of people bought Teslas as they were one of the better EVs at the time during Tesla's climb to their peak (which they have since fallen very far from). They too deserve death?

No; I'm expressing the same sentiment that I express for motorcycle riders that refuse to wear a helmet. I really, genuinely don't care if they beat their brains out on the front bumper of a Hyundai, but I don't think they get to force a Hyundai driver to hose brains off their car.

Teslas are death traps. Their owners can make that choice for themselves but I don't think they get to make it for others, which is what they try to do every time they turn on that self-driving feature.

"Sorry about your dead husband, trains weren't in the training data. Our bad. Anyway, his loss is not in vain, as now that our engineers are aware that trains can be a potential driving hazard, we are going to fix this soon in a future software update."
