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.
A Tesla drover might get the impression that the cars “opinion” is better than their own, which could cause them to hesitate before intervening or to allow the car to drive in a way they are uncomfortable with.
The misinformation about the car reaches the level of negligence because even smart people are being duped by this.
Honestly I think some people just dont believe someone could lie so publicly and loudly and often, that it must be something else besides a grift.
