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)
Where's the video?
Hope no one was hurt, regardless whether they're stupid, distracted or whatever! If we can't build fail-saves into cars, what are our chances for real AI?
Okay I don't want to directly disagree with you I just want to add a thought experiment:
If it is a fundamental truth of the universe, a human can literally not program a computer to be smarter than a human (because of some Neil deGrasse Tyson-esq interpretation of entropy), then no matter what AI's will crash cars as often as real people.
And the question of who is responsible for the AI's actions will always be the person because people can take responsibility and AI's are just machine-tools. This basically means that there is a ceiling to how autonomous self-driving cars will ever be (because someone will have to sit at the controls and be ready to take over) and I think that is a good thing.
Honestly I'm in this camp that computers can never truly be "smarter" than a person in all respects. Maybe you can max out an ai's self-driving stats but then you'll have no points left over for morality, or you can balance the two out and it might just get into less morally challenging accidents more often ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. There are lots of ways to look at this

Honey, are those train tracks? .... Yes looks like we'll turn left on to the tracks for 1/2 a mile. Its a detour.
Yeaaaaah, I mean fuck Tesla for a variety of reasons, but right here we're looking at a car that drove itself onto a set of train tracks, continued down the train tracks, and the people inside did...nothing? Like, they grabbed their shit and got out when it got stuck. The car certainly should not have done this, but this isn't really a Tesla problem. It'll definitely be interesting when robotaxis follow suit though.
What a cool and futuristic car. It’s all computer!
I’m still waiting for Elon’s car to drive onto train tracks.
Can't wait to hop in a Robotaxi! /s
What's that? They'll have human drivers in them? Still maybe no.
Pretty sure this one also had a driver in it.
A family in Pennsylvania
And who is going to willingly get into a Tesla Taxi?!?!
You still don't have to get in for one to hit you. I ride a motorcycle and I'm always sketched out when there's a Tesla behind me
Very true.
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.

@Davriellelouna I am sure it was all monitored in real time and a revised algorithm will be included in a future update.

You all don't seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!
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.
I'd have bailed out and waited for the insurance check. Then got a different car.
I wouldn't have had time between pumping iron and getting head, myself.

At this point, if anybody buys one of these vehicles from Tesla, they absolutely deserve what they get. It is absurd.
New food chain just dropped
Self-driving not being reliable yet is one of the biggest disappointments of the last decade.
What did we even do all those ReCAPTCHAs for
