Tesla Full-Self Driving Veers Off Road, Hits Tree, and Flips Car for No Obvious Reason (No Serious Injuries, but Scary)

Flipping an EV is no small feat, especially a sedan. The damned center of gravity is basically at the middle of the wheels.

Y'know... I would suggest a decent proof of FSD being worthless garbage is the fact you'd think a car which can drive itself should probably be able to automatically stop itself.

Even when under manual control the car should be able to go "ah shit this aint the road anymore, those are some trees and a fence I'm headed towards way too fast" and try to stop and perform risk mitigating maneuvers.

After that we can talk about whether the car might be able to drive itself.

Inb4 Elon tweets that this actually is a good thing, then tries to claim that the car will protect the driver from harm. Even though the car literally crashed itself 🫠

Now here's a fun experiment: start from the beginning, and pause as soon as you think the car is about to do something dangerous. That's your correction time - I was probably front wheels off the road before I paused.

Yeah well, machine learning for controlling cars works most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't.

Does insurance cover that?

Just wait for the "self-driving" tractor trailers...
