Map data obtained and converted from other formats often ends up accidentally condensing labeling categories. One result is train tracks being categorized as generic roads instead of retaining their specific sub-heading. Another, unrelated to this, but common for people that play geo games is when forests and water areas end up being tagged as the wrong specific types.
Aha. But that sounds correctable.... So not having any people assigned to checking on railroads and making sure the system recognizes them as railroads would be due to miserliness on the part of Tesla then.... And might also say something about why some Teslas have been known to drive into bodies of water (or children, but that's probably a different instance of miserliness)

That, and little kids... and motorcycles... and school busses
Don't forget "styrofoam walls painted to look like tunnels". Fucking looney tunes.

How the fuck do you let any level 2 system go 40 to 50 fucking feet down the railroad tracks.
We're they asleep?
I was gonna say it’s not so much the fact that the car was hit by a train, but that it turned on to the tracks …but 40 or 50 feet?

It simply saw a superior technology and decided to attack.

That actually sounds like a reasonable response.
If you give the driver enough time to act, which tesla doesn't. They turn it off a second before impact and then claim it wasn't in self-driving mode.
Not even a second, it's sometimes less than 250-300ms. If I wasn't already anticipating it to fail and disengage as it went though the 2-lane wide turn I would have gone straight into oncoming traffic

That … tracks
Full stream ahead with the train puns

Damn. I hope the train is ok

Cop: WTF happened here?
Driver: It drove itself onto the tracks
Cop: Okay, but what about the other 49 feet of the 50 feet it's on the tracks?
Driver: ...

Maybe if they use LIDAR like they should have instead of just cameras it wouldn’t be such an issue, but they’re determined to minimize costs and maximize profits at the expense of consumers as are all publicly traded companies
You don't understand. Musk likes how they look, we can't disturb that for "safety"!

And who is going to willingly get into a Tesla Taxi?!?!
I won't get in one because I'm not giving a single dollar of business to Musk. He can go jump up his own asshole.

Or it no longer has anything to do with making a vehicle look cool.
The Lucid Air is equipped with up to 32 on-board sensors, including long range Lidar radar, short-range radar, surround view monitoring cameras.
It's because musk treats all his businesses like startups, and no matter how successful they get, in the interest of "trimming the fat" he'd like to keep people buying inferior products at a higher profit margin than thinking about better investment and long term growth, just like many companies.

Meanwhile my sister's fiancee drank the whole pitcher and is back working there totally believing Elon is some super genius and that the cars are capable of full self-driving. (I really have to bite my tongue when listening to him)
My camry can self-drive too, same outcome. (just off a cliff, rather than in front of a train)

LOL wasn't expecting that.

Whoa, that typo nearly knocked this discussion off the rails...

Paraphrasing:
"We only have the driver's word they were in self driving mode..."
"This isn't the first time a Tesla has driven onto train tracks..."
Since it isn't the first time I'm gonna go ahead and believe the driver, thanks.
Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't it trivial to take it out of their bullshit dangerous "FSD" mode and take control? How does a car go approximately 40-50 feet down the tracks without the driver noticing and stopping it?

Also a very valid point.

Yes.
You hit the brake.

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.
