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.

    At the same time, there’s too many people who say that Full Self Driving obviously doesn’t mean that the vehicle still fully drive itself. Though for unknown reasons it is totally fine to keep using the name Full Self Driving.

      And that is between Tesla and the NTSB to sort even though I agree. The car itself doesn’t mince words describing it to you, and at the time you’re driving it, the required supervision is unambiguous.

      If it were called “Tesla Drive” or something else, everyone would still be here taking a shit on it nonetheless.

      It’s called Full Self Driving (Supervised) nowdays. They changed the name.

      The vehicle is capable of driving you to the grocery store on the other side of the city and back, sometimes with zero interventions from the driver. If that’s not Full Self Driving then I don’t know what is.
