How the fuck do you let any level 2 system go 40 to 50 fucking feet down the railroad tracks.

We're they asleep?

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

And who is going to willingly get into a Tesla Taxi?!?!

You don't understand. Musk likes how they look, we can't disturb that for "safety"!

Full stream ahead with the train puns

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?

They didn't make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.

Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That's still obviously not what it should have done and it's no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.

That … tracks

How so? The human in the car is always ultimately responsible when using level 3 driver assists. Tesla does not have level 4/5 self-driving and therefore doesn’t have to assume any liability.

It's been well documented. It lets them say in their statistics that the owner was in control of the car during the crash

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.
