A journalist says that his Tesla running Full Self-Driving nearly drove his car off the highway and straight into a ditch.
Fred Lambert, the editor-in-chief of the electric vehicle blog Electrek, described this close call in a harrowing new piece. Had he not intervened, he said, the software’s blunder could’ve been disastrous.
“I was ready to take control, and I did, but it was scary,” Lambert wrote. “My girlfriend, sitting in the passenger seat, screamed in fear.”
The incident took place on Sunday while Lambert was driving down Autoroute 55 in Quebec’s Mauricie region. He was running the latest version of FSD, v14.3.6.
