I love how people are considering RR crossings an "edge case". It's been something FSD / Autopilot haven't been able to do and it seems like one of those, absolutely should be able to before being allowed in production kinda things.

Who, out of curiosity? If it's anyone at Tesla or Waymo, I'm curious what they have to say. If not, it's more armchair stupidity.

Seems like he's misreading a reply to this tweet which was clearly a joke.

No, read the original HN thread. Also plenty of Tesla fanboys.

Elon is designing for the future when all railroads are replaced by superior hyperloop technology. Why bother designing for a legacy feature? Next you'll suggest that the vehicle should avoid running over pedestrians and cyclists.

This one in particular is private road, so unless you can demonstrate this consistently happening everywhere I'd say it's an edge case.

It’s been a limitation for years. Sometimes it’ll stop, sure.

It's a feature, not a bug. Make trains late and people will have to buy more cars.

Dan O'Dowd is not really a very trustworthy source about exactly what happened in this clip.

Supervisor should supervise.

Are there any sources on this other than Dan O'Dowd, who has been proven to be a liar about his previous claims of FSD failures?

You mean the proven false accusations by Tesla promoters?

I wonder if something like this happening finally pops the AI bubble.

multiple people have already died with strong links to their use of AI products; I mention this only to say, if it hasn't happened already, a car wreck doesn't seem likely to be the deciding factor.

Ok you two, go back to milking your horses.

Strong natural selection vibes here. Don’t put your life in the hands of a ketamine addict
