Tesla FSD drives down railroad tracks, gets hit by train

[SANZC02]

Has anyone noticed driving with Autopilot on highways in California that the system cannot distinguish between the speed limit and truck speed limit?

Driving my Model S on a highway with a 70 mph limit, when I drive by the sign that says “Truck Speed Limit 55“ the vehicles changes to say 55 mph.

My R1S does not seem to have that issue on the same highway.

There's verifiable proof that FSD is safer, in certain situations, than a driver that is not paying attention. Ironically this particular post is about one of the situations where it is not. Because a driver that's not paying attention won't randomly turn down train tracks.

I would assume the same. I guess there is just a higher percentage of FSD users who don't want to pay attention...

It's hilariously easy to prove this wrong.

But I didn't mean to derail your other, valid points.

What we have here is a driver not paying attention. Wait, no, they are, they are just stupid.

FSD is stupid too, that's your point right?

Weird, I've never had that happen in CA (21019 M3LR). In my area however there are school zones that apply "when lights flashing" but the Tesla always reads/uses them.

I’ve not noticed it on other signs, honestly do not recall it on the truck signs, may have been introduced in a new update.

Happened last night several times on I10 west between Blyth and Indio.

At no time did I claim it was.



Nowhere in my post did I mention FSD. This is why it's very hard to communicate here when people assume so much and then go attack the straw men they've made up in their own minds. I carefully used neutral language, ADAS, not FSD. I'm talking about not-pay-to-use features.



Your complacency and smugness will bite you in the ass some day. You could be benefiting from a safety feature and you think you're such a great driver you don't need it.

Boy you’re so clever. You got me there with your Tesla vernacular. This whole fucking post is about FSD.

so smug

Except they literally don't. It's an ignorant study.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/01/11/tesla-fatality-rates/

You are talking Telsa fanbois BS claiming it's an ignorant study. The Snopes article you reference specifically ends with "Therefore, although this does not mean the data is incorrect, it does mean that ensuring the study's accuracy is not possible at this time."

Again, it's both hilarious and sad that people who have no experience with this think they should express opinions on it.

Classic "If I want your opinion I'll give it to you."

The purpose of a forum like this is discourse and that includes opinions from ANYONE who cares to comment.

False, we've covered a lot of brands and forms of driver assist. Try to catch up please.

You may have, but you’re in your own little universe. The title of this thread is:

There are minimum speed limit 40 signs in GA that FSD has historically misread. It doesn't slow down for them in the latest version but did in the past. Sometimes it displays a message about maintaining speed to follow traffic flow and not slowing down

Sign reading is a mobileye patent. Tesla uses their own method that works but it is not the same

For the past year I've had a problem with speed limit signs.
When traveling on a two lane road approaching a town, the speed limit decreases from 65 down to 35 in increments and Tesla reads and follows these signs properly.
However, when leaving town, the speed limit signs increase incrementally back to 65 but my Tesla gets stuck at 55 and won't go to 65 or 70 even when passing multiple signs.
Makes it useless.

Just read that VW will be selling ID Buzz robotaxis with level 4 autonomy (Tesla is level 2) probably before Tesla gets theirs out the door.
The Buzz comes with 27 sensors (including LIDAR, ultrasound, cameras) and also includes a full software package to manage Robotaxi fleet operations and ride hailing app.

Are you talking about autopilot (aka autosteer)? You sound like that person who was banned from the teslamotorsclub forum who I believe has never even used FSD.

The same person that believes FSD and autopilot are the same thing.

If they aren't the same thing then why are they lumped together on Tesla's "safety report" that you claim validates FSD safety??

Seems like you combine, then separate them when it suits your argument....

Tesla doesn't make any differentiation between FSD and AP for their data publication.
The speed limit signs problem is not with FSD or AP. It's just the basic speed control (I.e. cruise control)
I don't use FSD or AP because I've had too many problems with them doing stupid things.
Now I don't even use the the basic cruise control since it too is just stupid.
