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.

    Man, am I glad that I couldn’t afford a Tesla when I thought they were cool and didn’t find Musk repulsive.

          The hypersub sounds difficult, but it’s really easy. I know you are hungry now, but it’s worth it to wait a few years. We’ll make enough hypersubs for everyone by 2028.

          And when you get it the bread is cardboard, the cheese is cheap factory stuff but there is little flag pinned on top and sauces with quit daring appearences (some kind of gel with little stars and a bright fluerscent yellow one) have been applied with a clear decorative intent.

        At this point, I believe I know more about sandwich making than any human alive on Earth.

        Scene: a gigantic pop up tent with diesel generators in a desert, featuring many granite counters as well as top of the line kitchen appliances, and gamer lighting, all being set up in by workers who are immediately laid off once the jobsite is completed

        Elon enters the tent with 4 Tesla bots slowly shambling behind him. One lags out when its remote link to a human controller is severed. Minutes later the remnants of a starlink satellite crash through the far end of the tent kitchen.

        3 remaining Tesla bots proceed to bumble around like idiots, unable to open packets of deli ham, entirely ripping off the tops of deli mustard containers

        Elon is awkwardly smiling and doing jazz hands the whole time

        A neuralink mind controlled pig walks in as one Tesla bot wields a knife. Elon raises his hand to his ear, nods, then pushes a button on some phone app

        The pig screams, then a popping noise is heard, and the pig collapses to the ground with smoke and blood coming out of its ears and nose

        knife wielding tesla bot attempts to cut the pig’s flank, falls, cannot recover

        the two remaining tesla bots continue in vain to open a loaf of bread without ripping the entire loaf apart. One slips and falls backwards, the other one runs out of battery and is frozen in place, holding a single piece of wonder bread

        Elon curses, reaches into a refrigerator and hands you a crustable

          Cut him a break, he’s pioneering sandwich making with this innovative tech. A few hiccups are to be expected.

            Don’t say “cut him a break” around a Tesla product, god knows what command it’ll interpret that as.

      Just watched the video. Maybe it’s just me, but if you’re the driver in a Tesla, and it’s foggy as fuck outside, maybe, just maybe, don’t use the self driving aspect when visibility is that bad. The amount of people willing to trust Tesla with their lives (and others on the road…) is too damn high!

        I’d put the blame on the branding, full self drive shluld mean full self drive, not most-conditions self drive without explicitly providing the limitations. Even irplane autopilot systems, which solve a simpler problem, have explicit limitations stated

          There really needs to be legal pressure for them to change the name. I don’t see how it’s not false advertising.

      More and more they are starting to look like someone just vacuum molded the body over a chassis rather than putting any sort of real artistry to it. It also makes me wonder if Ellen is saying the look is “sexy,” does he have some sort of spandex fetish. Maybe he stole his mum’s pantyhose when alone and strutted around the house wearing them, thinking of himself as such. Maybe he still does…
