The scary part isn't that it's about to hit a pole, it's that it jumped the curb onto a sidewalk!

It’s not a sidewalk. It’s a railroad track for the VTA train in San Jose. FSD has no idea it’s not a drivable area. Guess what other technology Tesla has shunned that would’ve completely eliminated this issue? HD maps.

The pole literally has pedestrian buttons on it. I'm fairly certain that humans are intended to push them. Maps might help, though!

Street View [1] shows it's a railway track. The car didn't figure out it was one.

Oh good lord the pedestrian islands don't have curbs. I hadn't considered that a possibility.

They are building maps of drivable areas. It may not be HD, but it certainly would apply in this scenario.

I hope they don't use where the fsd decides to drive as truth data for those maps.

That was a street-level rail track. There was no curb.

Not if you're the occupant of the vehicle. </DevilsAdvocacy>
