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.

    Oh boy, and they just removed “steering wheel nag” in a recent update. I can’t imagine that will have any unintended consequences.

      Not really. They just removed unprompted nag. If you’re not constantly keeping a hand on the wheel and looking at the road, it nags more and will pull you over if you ignore it.

      If you turn off the internal driver monitoring camera, you can’t engage FSD or even use lane assist.
