Casual camera vs LiDAR Scan. Idk why tesla uses cameras while everyone else has LiDAR.
All it needs is a *”Kablam”* in bubble letters
Next see if it will self drive off a cliff! Bonus points if it gets a little hang time before giving in to gravity.
I guess that means a tesla on autopilot will drive straight through a sufficiently-polished side panel of a tesla cybertruck…
I feel like 80% of drivers i see on the road would do this as well.
[This article](https://electrek.co/2025/03/17/tesla-fans-exposes-shadiness-defend-autopilot-crash/) posted to r/cyberstuck explains that the car shuts off self driving mode once it sees that a crash is inevitable, thus affording Tesla a chance to claim that self driving mode was not in use at the time of a crash.
That was Mark Rober who tested this people. The former NASA scientist and YouTube’s Bill Nye.
Teslas have a long history of being confused by stuff like this. Look up how Joshua Brown died.
Unsurprisingly that was the most spectacular failure. But obviously the least surprising one. And the least likely to be a problem in real life. The fog issue is a lot worse.
Forget the part where it hits the dummy in the fog. Why is it even driving 40mph at all and not stopping at the side of the road if visibility is almost zero? How far into the fog will it go before realizing that?
To be fair a lot of people would drive into that as well…
Well, I would have too.
Talk about a real world scenario…
Would 100% trust Wile E. Coyote to build me a car before Musk.
I don’t know why he used autopilot instead of FSD
That’s why cartoon knowledge is important…
TESLA have claimed for years that their fully self-driving cars are “right around the corner” but excuses and delays keep coming
Luckily those aren’t typical road hazards.
Now do that with actual drivers. I bet a lot of them will also smash through it.
To be fair I think a fair bit of humans would also run into the wall. Didn’t have that in the tests though did they. Conspiracy.
To be fair, most normal drivers would’ve done the exact same thing with that wall.
Autopilot is just cruise control, it specifically says “car will not brake, pay attention”
Autopilot is not FSD.
NGL, the way that wall broke with those jagged edges is incredibly cartoonish and feels very AI.
It is sadly a bit of a scam video, as Tesla’s self driving technology is called FSD and was not used in the test. Instead they used the much weaker free version called autopilot.
I would be curious to see FSD tested on this setup.
It was not on Autopilot when it went through the wall. Watch the editing closely. Been debunked on numerous Youtube videos.
What’s with all this telsa stuff don’t people still drive Mercedes who made a car for Hitler like it’s actually hilarious how stupid peoe are ngl.
A Microvision enabled car would have stopped.
Look it’s our government in cartoon!
