Tesla Full-Self Driving Veers Off Road, Hits Tree, and Flips Car for No Obvious Reason (No Serious Injuries, but Scary) (fuelarc.com)

A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

FSD isn't perfect. No such system will ever be perfect. But, the goal isn't perfect, it just needs to be better than you.

Yeah people keep bringing that up as a counter arguement but I'm pretty certain humans don't swerve off a perfectly straight road into a tree all that often.

So unless you have numbers to suggest that humans are less safe than FSD then you're being equally obtuse.

Humans do swerve off perfectly straight roads into trees, I know because I've done it!

Can you confirm that to the best of your knowledge you are not a robot?
