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.

Ditto! They were about 1 foot from hitting the tree head on rather than glancing off, could have easily been fatal. Weirdly small axises of random chance that the world spins on

I still don't understand what made it happen. I kept watching shadows and expecting it to happen earlier.

They seriously need to pull FSD if it were just a matter of people risking their own lives I wouldn't mind but they're risking everyone else's by driving this glitch machine around.

There's some difference in the fences on the left side at the exact time the car passed by on the other lane. My guess is that the timing of the other car made the software interpret those changes in the input as something moving instead of simply something being different.

It makes no damn sense! There were worse shadows. it was totally unpredictable

I thought it might be following the tire tracks but no. It just decided to veer completely off.
