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?

Where's the video?
Honey, are those train tracks? .... Yes looks like we'll turn left on to the tracks for 1/2 a mile. Its a detour.
Yeaaaaah, I mean fuck Tesla for a variety of reasons, but right here we're looking at a car that drove itself onto a set of train tracks, continued down the train tracks, and the people inside did...nothing? Like, they grabbed their shit and got out when it got stuck. The car certainly should not have done this, but this isn't really a Tesla problem. It'll definitely be interesting when robotaxis follow suit though.
@Davriellelouna I am sure it was all monitored in real time and a revised algorithm will be included in a future update.

Self-driving not being reliable yet is one of the biggest disappointments of the last decade.
What did we even do all those ReCAPTCHAs for
You all don't seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!
New food chain just dropped
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.
I'd have bailed out and waited for the insurance check. Then got a different car.
I wouldn't have had time between pumping iron and getting head, myself.

You could not pay me to drive a Tesla.
Every thing seems to turn to shit
To be fair it is a Tesla. It started out as shit.
It started out promising, then was consigned to be shit when Elon swore off LIDAR. If he kept his shitty little hands away from management and let the engineers do their thing, it could've been great.

Tesla's are death traps.
