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.
Those should be your expectations when you are on the shop floor and that should allow you to reject the purchase if it’s s deal breaker for you. Not when you’re crossing railway tracks.
Weird how this notion of “personal responsibility” applies to every person except for those people who choose to intentionally misrepresenting the product by branding it in ways that are misleading. The people running this company aren’t responsible for their role in misleading the public, just because the fine print happens to indicate that the product isn’t actually what it’s marketed as?
Now you’ll probably say something to the effect of “I never said that! You’re putting words in my mouth!” except what other motivation can you have to jump to the defense of the liar and blame people for being misled, except that you want to put all the responsibility on individuals for being misled and not on the company that is systematically and intentionally misleading them? Maybe you just manage to derive a smug sense of superiority thinking of yourself as someone who is invulnerable to this kind of tactic so blaming the victims lets you feel good about yourself.
You literally cannot buy FSD without being told that it needs driver supervision. It also tells you that every single time you enable it and it’s constantly nagging to you when you take your hands off the wheel aswell as if you’re looking at your phone etc. and given enough warnings the system locks you out of it.
Has Musk been dishonest/misleading about it’s capabilities in the past? Yes. Is there a single Tesla owner with FSD who doesn’t know the truth? No.
I’m sure you’re on the shop floor for every one of those conversations.

“Confidently incorrect”
Then proceeds to link over 2 year old article and even that aknowledges the existence of such system in the title.
It has an indoor camera that is constantly monitoring the driver and nags when they’re not paying attention. That’s a fact. Nothing what I said has been proven incorrect.
