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.

    Mercedes Drive Pilot is hilariously limited system. It for example needs a car in front of it that it can follow or else it wont work. It also only works on limited number of hand-picked highways in California and Nevada.

    There’s a video on YouTube comparing FSD to Mercedes’ equivalent driver assistant software (not the level 3 one) and it’s not even a competition. The Mercedes system is completely unusable.
