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 it’s been advertised to the user as “full self driving”, is it?
Furthermore, the car can’t recognize the visibility is low and alert the user and/or refuse to go into self driving?
I wouldn’t believe an advertisement.
I wouldn’t trust Musk with my life either.
But, presumably, we have moved beyond the age of advertising snake oil and miracle cures and advertisements have to be somewhat factual.
If a user does as is advertised and something goes wrong I do believe it’s the advertiser who is liable.
Keyword presumably.
Right. But can you blame the user for trusting the advertisement?
If the product doesn’t do what it says it does, that’s the product / manufacturers fault. Not the users fault. Wtf lol how is this even a debate.
There are many quite loud alerts when FSD is active in subpar circumstances about how it is degraded, and the car will slow down. That video was pretty foggy, I’d say the dude wasn’t paying attention.
I came up on a train Sunday evening in the dark, which I hadn’t had happen in FSD, so I decided to just hit the brakes. It saw the crossing arms as blinking stoplights, probably wouldn’t have stopped?
Either way that dude was definitely not paying attention.
