I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:
- Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
- Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
- Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.
And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.
That wasn’t FSD. In the crash report it shows FSD wasn’t enabled. The driver applied a torque to the steering wheel and disengaged it. They were probably reaching into the back seat while “supervising”.
I covered that crash.
FSD is never enabled at the moment of impact, because FSD shuts off less than a second before impact, so that Tesla’s lawyers and most loyal fans can make exactly the arguments you are making. Torque would be applied to the steering wheel when any vehicle departs the roadway, as the driver is thrown around like a ragdoll as they clutch the wheel. Depending on the car, torque can also be applied externally to the tires by rough terrain to shift the steering wheel.
No evidence to suggest the driver was distracted. Prove me wrong if you have that evidence.
Also welcome to the platform, new user!
Tesla counts any crash within 5 seconds of FSD disengagement as an FSD crash. Where is the cabin camera footage of the driver not being distracted?
Here is a video that goes over it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=JoXAUfF029I
Thanks for the welcome, but I’m not new just a lemm.ee user.
You weren’t the user who posted that video, but you seem to be quite knowledgeable in this specific case…
Can you link that crash report? Or can you cite some confirmed details about the incident?
