Why did FSD enable itself in such bad weather conditions? Why did the FSD not hit the breaks on time, when the closed railway crossing and the train are clearly visible?

Remember in the last earnings call Elon said that the latest version of FSD is almost ready for actual autonomous operation. I don't think this is the case.

I don't say the FSD is working well, I just find it absurd how people use this technology in practice. This person knew the system had malfunctioned at the same spot before, yet they choose to enable it again under such bad conditions and then don't pay enough attention to intervene in time? Almost like the guy whose Tesla drove into a lane divider who also chose to ignore that and play on his phone even after the car had the exact same problem at the same spot multiple times. It just seems extremely reckless to me, that person would've died for sure if his car had gone under the freight train.

> This person knew the system had malfunctioned at the same spot before, yet they choose to enable it again

they roll out new versions regularly, that's a valid excuse to try it again on a new version at "something it failed at previously". Funny how everyone assumes OTA updates will always fix problems, and never create more.

He's been saying the same thing for a decade now.
