"After a Tesla in Full Self-Driving mode suddenly swerved off of a busy highway and almost straight into a ditch, the owner of the vehicle praised the driving technology to high heaven for supposedly saving his skin. "Tesla FSD saved my life last night on Interstate 95 in South Carolina," wrote the driver, who goes by the display name "The Electric Israeli." "Car in front braked hard suddenly. FSD veered to the left and got back safely on the road," he explained."
"During a night commute, the video shows the Tesla tailing an SUV in front of it at a reasonable enough distance. But when the SUV brakes and slows down, neither FSD nor Moshe take notice. There 's ample time to react, but instead of gradually slowing down to respond to the SUV in front, the Tesla's self-driving software brakes at the last second and veers off the road, nearly plunging into the depressed center of the grass median."
A Tesla operating in Full Self-Driving mode swerved off a busy interstate at night and nearly went into a ditch. The vehicle owner praised FSD on social media and posted video of the incident. The footage shows the Tesla following an SUV at reasonable distance as traffic slowed and the SUV braked. Neither the system nor the driver responded gradually; the car braked at the last second and veered off the road into a depressed grass median. Traffic ahead was heavy, suggesting ample time to slow down. The maneuver appears dangerous and possibly unnecessary.
