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.
Just need to Google “Tesla self-driving development engineers and Elon Musk”, and you’ll find lots of articles. Here’s one of the few that wasn’t paywalled.

This is an article from 2021 about a book researched in 2019.
Yeah, during development of the Tesla self driving system.
Read the development notes from the first years of any technology you use. The research you’re “referencing” is six years old at this point.
What’s next? You going to criticize an iPod Nano to make a point about the broken screen on your iPhone 8? Criticize Google assistant from 2019 to harangue OpenAI?
Look at what six years of development means: https://youtu.be/qTDlRLeDxxM?si=dFZzLcO_a8wfy2QS
It’s not about how well or badly it worked when they were developing it, it’s about the developing process. It’s about the fact that they had to appease Elon Musk’s ego in all aspects of developing the self drive system. To a disastrous degree.
And again there is a world of difference between the iPhone or Open AI or Google Assistant not working right and a car driving itself not working right because when those other things don’t work nobody dies or gets hurt. But a car can mame and kill people extremely easily.
That’s a very old article about even older opinions, now totally outdated as shown by statements like;
You’re using unsubstantiated statements from the start of development which is totally different to what you claimed before being asked for a source.
Current development FSD has hit huge milestones which competitors have not.
