https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-fsd-update-red-lights"Thankfully I stopped it before it ran the light," wrote one Redditor user in a thread with several other Tesla drivers experiencing the same thing, "but hopefully Tesla is aware their software is at a very dangerous level right now."
"I've also had that happen once or twice at below 30 mph," another person wrote. "Having trust issues because of it [not gonna lie]."
A YouTuber posted a video clearly showing the red light problem Redditors brought up in their thread. "Don't do that! That's a red light," the YouTuber exclaimed while he was driving through the downtown area of Newark, New Jersey, and the vehicle tried to drive through a red light at an intersection.
TLDR; It's not FSD. And robotaxis won't have a human to hit the brakes.
There's another article that goes into limitations in the all-camera system.

(12,324 posts)But we do quote reliable sources. A lot of problems are either unique to Teslas, to EV's in general (like lithium battery problems) magnified by their popularity, or just lack of experience as an auto maker.
Of course, a flaw imperils a lot of others.

How the hell could they trust that idiot, especially after failure after failure after failuer on so-called self-driving cars...not to meention that horrendous stainless steel cybertrcuk that rusts.

(12,324 posts)Having driven though fog more times than I like, I sure would like to have radar on board, as well.
I was planning to install a noisemaker to scare away deer, but I figured that it might just spook them to jump INTO the road instead of OFF.
I read somewhere that they make seemingly random moves in response to threats, to fake out predators. Not good for autos.

(12,399 posts)Seems awfully one sided - given the horrendous job of driving that many of our human operators demonstrate every day - are we seriously claiming that self driving represents significantly worse? I find that somewhat difficult to believe - but, if so, let's trot out those figures to make exactly that argument. Meantime, I have a strong hunch that a lot of this opposition is driven at gut level.
So - appreciate that someone would try to add a little balance to the discussion. I think it's useful.
added: In relation to the OP - I'm sure that most people are already aware that the Waymo and Tesla situation are actually talking different systems (and even different parameters?) - hardware, software, programming, the whole ball of wax
