Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks

Also, the robotaxi has been live for all of a day and there’s already footage of it driving on the wrong side of the road: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s-h0YXtF0c&t=420s

The thing that strikes me about both this story and the thing you posted is that the people in the Tesla seem to be like “this is fine” as the car does some pretty terrible stuff.
In that one, Tesla failing to honor a forced left turn instead opting to go straight into oncoming lanes and waggle about causing things to honk at them, the human just sits there without trying to intervene. Meanwhile they describe it as “navigation issue/hesitation” which really understates what happened there.
The train one didn’t come with video, but I can’t imagine just letting my car turn itself onto tracks and going 40 feet without thinking.
My Ford even thinks about going too close to another lane and I’m intervening even if it was really going to be no big deal. I can’t imagine this level of “oh well”.
Tesla drivers/riders are really nuts…
