A family had to exit their Tesla when it turned onto train tracks in "self-driving" mode, almost colliding with a freight train. The car, in "Full Self-Driving" mode, contributed to Tesla being the most accident-prone carmaker in the U.S. over two years. After the incident, the Tesla required removal by crane due to the danger posed by its flammable lithium-ion battery. Thankfully, the family remained uninjured, despite the close call, but prior incidents highlight the risks associated with the technology.
A family of three had to exit their Tesla when it unexpectedly turned onto train tracks in "self-driving" mode, leading to a close-call collision with a freight train.
