"Last week, I drove the 2026 Tesla Model Y in Brooklyn with its Full-Self Driving (FSD) system engaged. My hands hovered over the steering wheel, but the car handled the braking, acceleration and turning in the worst place in America to drive. I was on a two-way street, with a cargo truck unloading right in the middle of the road, parked just a few feet away from a traffic light ahead. Horns blared, delivery riders snaked around and there was a chain of vehicles."
"Another truck aggressively swung into the intersection for a wide right turn. Its sheer length and long turning radius pushed it straight into my lane. The Model Y just sat there, waiting for the light to turn green, while the truck kept coming. At the last second, I hit the accelerator"
I drove a 2026 Tesla Model Y in Brooklyn with Full-Self Driving (FSD) engaged, hands hovering while the car handled braking, acceleration and turning. The route included a two-way street with a cargo truck unloading in the middle of the road near a traffic light, horn-blaring delivery riders and oncoming traffic. Initially the car slowed, waited for a gap and swung around the truck smoothly. At a red light, a long truck made a wide right turn into the lane and the car did not yield or move. A last-second manual nudge avoided a costly collision. Tesla relies on cameras feeding machine-learning models to interpret visual data for decision-making.
