Tesla 'Full Self-Driving' crashed through railroad gate seconds before train

4 hours ago

Tesla owner's car on 'Full Self-Driving' accelerated through a lowered railroad crossing arm as a train approached, forcing him to punch the accelerator to outrun it.
This incident is part of a pattern of FSD failures at railroad crossings, with NHTSA investigating after over 40 social-media reports and a previous train collision.
Tesla released FSD v14.3 the next day, promising improved reaction times and handling for objects in the vehicle path, which observers link to crossing-arm issues.
Despite Tesla's claim that FSD is seven times safer than human drivers, it remains a Level 2 system requiring constant driver supervision, with ongoing safety concerns.
