I'm sorry but even if it was in fsd mode who would let their car drive onto train tracks? Almost every time these stories come up it was the person driving. But it's easier to blame fsd then look like an idiot. I also have never met a person in real life who actually believed teslas were truly full self driving full hands off the wheel. Especially with multiple warning screens when you activate fsd telling you it's not actually fsd. I guess let nature do its work.

The truly scary thing is plenty of people drive on train tracks all the time. Tesla or not.

Yeah that claim you make about it being the driver and not FSD "almost every time" exists only in your imagination.

The cars record basically everything. Check out the insurance data. There's a reason there isn't an insurance premium for having an fsd enabled car. If it caused a significant amount of accidents as you claim there you would have to pay higher insurance with that option enabled. I hate to shatter your world view but these articles are click bait. The article about an idiot motorist lying about using fsd isn't going to get the clicks or internet rage and engagement.

You could use common sense or continue to live in your echo chamber. As they say ignorance is bliss.

Tesla insurance in general is VERY expensive. Thats where the extra cost is added in-- Insurance companies dont ask if you have a fature enabled or not. So I'm afraid you are misinformed here.

[–] troed@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So your supporting data for your claim is "common sense"?

I think Xitter is more your arena tbh.

[–] NameTaken@lemmy.world -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, let's read all the words, -insurance data and rates. O sorry, what's your evidence besides click bait articles? I'll wait...

[–] troed@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You have posted absolutely nothing on "insurance data and rates". You have no idea what that would even look like to support your claim.

Let's revisit: Your claim is that whenever there's a story about autopilot/FSD having caused an accident it's actually the person driving that caused it.

Now support your claim with something tangible besides your own gut feeling and "common sense".
