In that one, Tesla failing to honor a forced left turn instead opting to go straight into oncoming lanes and waggle about causing things to honk at them, the human just sits there without trying to intervene. Meanwhile they describe it as "navigation issue/hesitation" which really understates what happened there. The train one didn't come with video, but I can't imagine just letting my car turn itself onto tracks and going 40 feet without thinking. My Ford even thinks about going too close to another lane and I'm intervening even if it was really going to be no big deal. I can't imagine this level of "oh well". Tesla drivers/riders are really nuts... permalink fedilink source parent
