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.
Is 200ish crashes and 6 deaths per year too many?
I know its an absolute number but we are asking if its worth sacrificing people for the potential of safer driving later.
Can you explain why you are so confident that this will all be worth it in the end?
