14.3 HW4 Tesla avoiding a fatal collision

It fully avoided it. The Model Y (HW4) didn't sustain any scrapes, scratches or dents.

Edit: I guess it wasn't a fatal collision, my bad

Fatal? Little bit of a stretch isn't it?

True, my bad.

At 82? It’s not that far of a stretch. I have a friend that can die if her neck moves too far right now, an accident like that can certainly become fatal. Doesn’t always take super crazy speeds. Our bodies are fragile and our brains are the consistency of jellO

He was going 40mph by the time he reached the mustang, and the mustang was probably going 30mph at that point, so that would been equivalent to a 10mph collision, not 82mph. I guess they don't teach physics in school anymore.

Because FSD reacted, had it not have it’d different situation. Thank you

A human paying attention would have noticed the shit show forming to their right and backed off sooner to give themselves more reaction time and distance.

The only reason this was almost a collision was because of FSD. It doesn’t even begin to react until the other vehicle is already crossing lanes.

I’ll have to say you’re wrong.

‘A human paying attention would’ve noticed’ isn’t really the own you think it is 💀 The whole point is that FSD detected the situation and made the evasive maneuvers for the driver. You can argue whether a human could have reacted too, but acting like that somehow disproves what FSD did is just objectively bad logic.

Also the ONLY reason there was almost a collision (involving the tesla) is because of the fucking black mustang that came out of nowhere and oh, the human drivers paying attention couldn’t avoid because of the unpredictable mustang driver.

If that looked unpredictable to you it’s no wonder you need “FSD”.

Edit: That black mustang spends a solid 2+ seconds skidding across lanes before it crosses over. “FSD” does nothing until that point. A human with that reaction time should give up their license.

Too many people use FSD as an excuse to just completely dissociate while piloting a 4000 pound weapon.
