Tesla Inc (TSLA)

Over at the Tesla Motor Club online forum, a Tesla driver posted videos of his near miss with a fast-moving train while he was operating his car in full self-driving mode.

The videos are hair-raising. As the car blithely cruises along in the fog, you can make out a train barreling down the tracks. But does the "intelligent" self-driving system detect the impending collision and hit the brakes? Nope, it just keeps on trucking, headed straight for a multi-ton metallic obliteration.

Only a last-second swerve averts utter catastrophe.

The Tesla fan wrote, "it has twice attempted to drive directly into a passing train while in FSD mode." 

This looks like an issue Tesla can improve through software updates. Oddly the headline says Autopilot but the contents of the article say FSD. Just goes to show the software has aways to go.
