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.

    When you look at the development notes on the self-driving at Tesla, anyone with a brain wouldn’t trust that shit, not even a little bit. Most of what they did is placate Musk’s petty whims and delusions. Any real R&D issues were basically glazed over it given quick software fixes.

      Demonstrate what you mean because it really sounds like you’re describing what you feel should be true to justify your emotions about the bad Twitter man.

      And to be clear, I mean link the documents you claim to have read and the parts of them you claim demonstrate this.

              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          That’s a very old article about even older opinions, now totally outdated as shown by statements like;

          Almost five years on, Tesla still hasn’t completed its autonomous road trip — no car company has even come close.

          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.
