Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks

Paraphrasing:

"We only have the driver's word they were in self driving mode..."

"This isn't the first time a Tesla has driven onto train tracks..."

Since it isn't the first time I'm gonna go ahead and believe the driver, thanks.

It simply saw a superior technology and decided to attack.

That … tracks

How the fuck do you let any level 2 system go 40 to 50 fucking feet down the railroad tracks.

We're they asleep?

Teslas do still have steering wheels, after all

You don't say!

Also, the robotaxi has been live for all of a day and there's already footage of it driving on the wrong side of the road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s-h0YXtF0c&t=420s

If only there was a way to avoid the place where trains drive.

I checked first. They didn't make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks. Jalopnik says there's no official statement that it was actually driving under FSD(elusion) but if it was strictly under human driving (or FSD turned itself off after driving off) I guarantee Tesla will invade privacy and slander the driver by next day for the sake of court of public opinion

Damn. I hope the train is ok

Tesla's self-driving is pretty shite but they seem to have a particular problem with railway crossings, as also pointed out in the article. Of all of the obstacles for the self-driving system to fail to detect, the several thousand tons of moving steel is probably one of the worst outcomes.

Tesla's have a problem with the lefts.

Elongated Musketon: UM THAT WAS JUST 1 FAULTY MODEL STOP CHERRY PICKING GUYS JUST BUY IT!!!1

Working as expected then.

Deregulation, ain't it great.

Car drove itself on to the tracks, gets hit by a train. This is some Maximum Overdrive shit.

Driver failed to control their car and avoid a collision.

FTFY.

I'm sure the car did actually take the action. But there are TONS of unavoidable warnings and reminders to the driver to supervise and take control when FSD goes wrong.

Which you can do by such super-technical means as "hitting the brake" or "steering the other way" or "flipping the right stalk up". Rocket science, I know.

Driver's fault. Bad technology, yes. Worse driver.

And who is going to willingly get into a Tesla Taxi?!?!

What a cool and futuristic car. It’s all computer!

I’m still waiting for Elon’s car to drive onto train tracks.

How could the left do this /s

It's stupider than I thought reading the headline. That car started driving down the fing tracks

At this point, if anybody buys one of these vehicles from Tesla, they absolutely deserve what they get. It is absurd.

Hope no one was hurt, regardless whether they're stupid, distracted or whatever! If we can't build fail-saves into cars, what are our chances for real AI?

Meanwhile my sister's fiancee drank the whole pitcher and is back working there totally believing Elon is some super genius and that the cars are capable of full self-driving. (I really have to bite my tongue when listening to him)

My camry can self-drive too, same outcome. (just off a cliff, rather than in front of a train)

Where's the video?

Self-driving not being reliable yet is one of the biggest disappointments of the last decade.

New food chain just dropped

You all don't seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!

How symbolic

Every thing seems to turn to shit

You could not pay me to drive a Tesla.

He wants to make us a multi transport mode species.

Tesla's are death traps.

I am all in on testing these devices and improving waay before they recommend fully giving into AI
