A Tesla driver blames FSD for nearly causing a train crash, raising concerns about the system's safety and driver complacency.

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.

    So not even turning towards an intersection with a train or anything complicated. Tesla can’t even tell there’s a 12" steel wall in front of it. Fucking pathetic.

      How would it though? It probably didn’t have any images like this in the train-ing data.

          The new models with hardware 4 (atleast models S and X) have a radar but then again humans can manage without so I have no doubt that a vision-based system will be more than sufficient in the end.
