Extremely persuasive contribution filled with facts and logic.

It's very clear that this person was on the latest version of FSD that was vision only.

Lies huh? My heart goes out to you.

Radar would have spotted that window in a heartbeat.

The Tesla haters will hopelessly cling onto and blissfully get off at the slightest bit of info on alleged FSD malfeasance.

My distrust of FSD has nothing to do with liking, loving or hating Tesla or Elon. I work in technology and real-time factory automation and controls. Our company would be sued into oblivion if we released software that put peoples' lives or products at risk the way Tesla FSD and Elon's legacy of exageration does.

I'm finding it hard to believe the GPS would have decided the train track was a roadway. I think we will end up learning that this had nothing to do with FSD

FSD learns from human drivers, so it was probably just following all the other drivers that drove down those train tracks.

Hmm. I ain't exaggerating nothing. Again, I know what FSD does and does not do. And I pay attention, and I am ready to take over at any time. Anybody who decides not to do the latter, you are on your own and a candidate for the Darwin award, or just plain do not use it. C'mon, folks, It ain't rocket science.

You apparently have fallen into the camp that just because FSD is not level 5, it is therefore a catastrophe, a failure. Utter and complete nonsense. I call BS.

That's almost certainly the issue. Here's the view that the camera would have had. The tracks are at the crest of a hill, there's a really good probability that it saw the tracks as the road because it can't see the road over the crest of the hill.

Edit: This time of year, the trees straight ahead will be full foliage, potentially causing the vision system to "see" a solid obstacle straight ahead.

If you understand how vision systems work, it's pretty clear that it could easily interpret that the road bears to the left. But the fanbois will continue to claim that the driver is lying and drove it there himself.

I didn't mention anything about you exagerating, I mentioned "Elon's legacy" .... unless you are Elon.

You're making wild and illogical assumptions. My distrust of FSD in no way implies "that just because FSD is not level 5, it is therefore a catastrophe, a failure." I challenge you find a quote where I ever said anything like that. You won't.

A true Tesla fanbois you are. Yes, hrrmmm.

We’re all Rivian fans here but still… “The passengers got out before the car got minimally sideswiped by a train.” — if they had the time to do that, they could have driven the car away from the tracks. Hatchet job, bs

Did you look at the pictures closely? The left side wheels apeear to be off the ground. Once the car's momentum stopped, the weight/friction on the rail was likely too much to overcome to back out with gravel under the remaining drive wheels. Sounds like you have never gotten a vehicle "high centered" stuck.

I am still alive and kicking. That's rather serious and not laughable.
What I mean by my own experience is that I know what I am talking about instead of being a dumbass online reader who pretends to know FSD from what he or she reads online. Now, that's stupid, laughable, and dumb.

I recently had an opportunity to try FSD and thought I should so I had some sense of it. I had one critical disengagement where it wanted to turn right in front of a cyclist that had good odds of the cyclist hitting the vehicle. So in my anecdotal 30 miles of use, if I had let it, it could have had a serious accident while I have so far avoided any myself in 30 years of driving and over 500,000 miles.

Anecdotal data - so perhaps kind of useless - except this is not an uncommon edge case. Therefore, in my mind, it is easy to prove that the Tesla is NOT capable of FSD at this point. And until we have actual reliable data (not anecdotal) that proves it is safer than humans in ALL instances, it really shouldn't be allowed in the hands of everyday users, only test users who have been suitably trained.

Don’t you see what happened here? The WFMZ Channel 69 News (definitely sounds made up) was paid to report this story by one of Elon’s haters/ competitors/ employees/ short sellers, who clearly used levitation to place the Tesla on the tracks, then ran away before any witnesses could ID them as Deep State operatives….

It’s a vast conspiracy!
