You’re absolutely right. The problem is, as per the article, they’re about to roll out “robotaxis” in Austin - a densely populated, multi-lane shitshow.

Driver failed to control their car and avoid a collision.
FTFY.
I’m sure the car did actually take the action. But there are TONS of unavoidable warnings and reminders to the driver to supervise and take control when FSD goes wrong.
Which you can do by such super-technical means as “hitting the brake” or “steering the other way” or “flipping the right stalk up”. Rocket science, I know.
Driver’s fault. Bad technology, yes. Worse driver.

I’d have bailed out and waited for the insurance check. Then got a different car.

I wouldn’t have had time between pumping iron and getting head, myself.

I just don’t know how they’re getting away with calling it ‘full self driving’ if it’s not fully self driving.

I didn’t keep track of how that lawsuit turned out.
That said, it is labeled “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” on everything in the car.
Supervised as in you have to be ready to stop this kind of thing. That’s what the supervision is.
