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?

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.
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.

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.
Thanks. I could have clarified better myself. I meant "didn't turn from a rail-parallel road onto a crossing to be met by a train it couldn't reasonably detect due to bad road design"

On some railroad crossings you might only need to go off the crossing to get stuck in the tracks and unable to back out. Trying to get out is another 30-40 feet.
Being caught off guard when the car isn't supposed to do that is how to get stuck in the first place. Yeah, terrible driver trusting shit technology.

That … tracks

Honey, are those train tracks? .... Yes looks like we'll turn left on to the tracks for 1/2 a mile. Its a detour.

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.
If you are monkeying with the car right before it crashes... wouldn't that raise suspicion?
-
It's been well documented. It lets them say in their statistics that the owner was in control of the car during the crash
That's my whole point

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

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. You can't do shit from the back seat except bail out.

It simply saw a superior technology and decided to attack.
No amount of upvotes will give this comment the praise it deserves.

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

Yes.
You hit the brake.
Ideally you hit the brakes before buyin the tesla.

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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s-h0YXtF0c&t=420s

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

You all don't seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!
