Tesla’s Full Self-Driving cars had a habit of driving into the path of oncoming trains.
Or should we say that they have a bad habit, because despite Tesla promising to patch these kinds of issues, it’s apparently still happening with the most advanced versions of its self-driving tech to date.
In a dashcam video spotted by Electrek, a Tesla running FSD v14.3.7, the newest update available, pulls up to an active railroad crossing with flashing red lights. Despite appearing to stop at first, it then suddenly accelerates towards the tracks before the driver manually hits the brakes. Seconds later, a huge freight trains barrels across the screen.
The footage was taken by Lei Xing, an auto journalist who covers China’s EV industry.
