Just sounds a bit staged. Could have been what happened, but we can blame FSD all day long but also doesn't change the fact that the human behavior here doesn't seem to have an ounce of logic either.
It says it happened at 5:30am. I wouldn’t be surprised if the owner were out drinking late and relying on FSD to get them home.

happened to be driving an old Model 3 and let it drive quite a ways before calmly getting out and taking their stuff? Seems like a short seller stunt.
How long are you on $TSLA that you have to make up this fantasy?

It's interesting that the anti-ADAS people never talk about the 16,248 vehicle collisions every day caused by meatbag drivers. Most of which will be prevented when we let the computers take over.

That sounds like a statement that should be very easy to prove if it were true.... Share ANYTHING proving ADAS is safer than human drivers at this point.

You have been asked so many times yet here you are again :facepalm:

You can't be serious.

Not sure where this is coming from. All I did was speculate that at 5:30am the driver could have had some drinks - or I suppose could have been drowsy - and thus over-relying on FSD.

What does that have to do with the nonprofit raffle I volunteer to help run? And by the way, this year’s Grand Prize winner chose a Tri-motor Max R1T in Storm Blue - a beautiful truck - vehicle, some accessories and all taxes paid by Climate XChange

The problem is that Tesla advertises "Full Self Driving" (FSD). It is not FSD and requires constant supervision. People believe that they have FSD and stop paying attention.
ADAS does reduce accidents but FSD doesn't exist (except perhaps in Waymo cars which have much better sensors).

FSD user and most of these 'I was on FSD" stories have been shown to not have engaged autopilot. If you think the FUD isn't going to come for Rivian when they have their hands-off system you're only fooling yourself.

Wow. That is breaking news! Please point me to ONE example of you providing that information. I can't wait to read it.

Completely false.
