A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

It got the most recent update, and thought a tunnel was a wall.

There’s an obvious reason. It’s a fucking Tesla.

To be fair, that grey tree trunk looked a lot like a road

GPS data predicted the road would go straight as far as the horizon. Camera said the tree or shadow was an unexpected 90 degree bend in the road. So the only rational move was to turn 90 degrees, obviously! No notes, no whammies, flawless

Don't drive Tesla

The problem with automation is complacency. Especially in something that people already have a very hard time taking seriously like driving where cell phone distraction, conversations, or just zoning out is super common.

HAL9000 had Oh Clementine!

Has Tesla been training their AI with the lumberjack song?
