      Teslas are clearly unsafe and the company should be sued into oblivion, however they do include crashes with FSD on within I believe 10 seconds as a “FSD crash”

        I thought it was 10 as well, but its 5.

        If FSD (Supervised) was active at any point within five seconds leading up to a collision event, Tesla considers the collision to have occurred with FSD (Supervised) engaged for purposes of calculating collision rates for the Vehicle Safety Report.

    Aren’t you supposed to still be paying attention in this badly-named mode? What on earth was he doing in order not to notice that he was travelling at sufficient speed to do this?

        If people can’t be bothered to RTFM then it’s 100% their fault no matter what it’s called. Unfortunately even if they had called it cruise control plus there would still be dumbasses doing this shit.

          There was a recent case Tesla was found partly to blame because the system allegedly didnt work as advertised, but because it also worked in an area it shouldn’t have been enabled in.

          The didnt work as advertised part, was the saftey features to avoid the collision with pedestrians on the side of the road didnt work. The car didn’t brake.

          Why didnt they work?

          The driver had his foot on the accelerator and was looking down because he fumbled his phone. The car actively warns you if you override it with the accelerator that it will not brake.

          The driver claims he thought it would still brake even though the car says it wont… he accepted responsibility for the crash.

          You cant fix stupid.
