"Tesla highlighted its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system's robustness this week by sharing dashcam footage of a vehicle in FSD navigating pitch-black San Francisco streets during the city's widespread power outage. While Waymo's robotaxis stalled and caused traffic jams, Tesla's vision-only approach kept operating seamlessly without remote intervention. Elon Musk amplified the clip, highlighting the contrast between the two systems. Tesla FSD handles total darkness"
"The @Tesla_AI account posted a video from a Model Y operating on FSD during San Francisco's blackout. As could be seen in the video, streetlights, traffic signals, and surrounding illumination were completely out, but the vehicle drove confidently and cautiously, just like a proficient human driver. Musk reposted the clip, adding context to reports of Waymo vehicles struggling in the same conditions."
An FSD-equipped Tesla Model Y navigated pitch-black San Francisco streets during a widespread power outage using a vision-only approach and dashcam footage shows confident, cautious driving resembling a proficient human driver. The vehicle operated without remote intervention despite the loss of streetlights, traffic signals, and surrounding illumination. Other robotaxi fleets experienced failures during the outage, with multiple Waymo Jaguar I-PACE taxis stopping in lanes, causing traffic jams and requiring manual retrieval. Waymo reported that its vehicles treat nonfunctional signals as four-way stops, but the scale of the outage produced instances where vehicles remained stationary longer than usual.
