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"
