Houston FSD accident on bridge lawsuit

[ABILISK]

I’ve watched a LOT of FSD crash videos and this doesn’t look like one to me. FSD likes to do what I call the “uncertainty wobble” pre-crash. I’ve also felt the uncertainty wobble myself when being cutoff or something. This was a smooth curve directly into a wall. I’d bet money on human driver. This is probably why they started adding FSD state to their videos now.

Agreed. I used 13.x on the cybertruck and it did weird dangerous stuff, but there was the wobble you described. Idk how to explain it but that crash felt human and not like fsd at all.

Anyone seen this one ? https://www.chron.com/culture/article/cybertruck-houston-lawsuit-21965298.php

comes from a 2025 incident - which was the 13.XXX iteration of FSD - personally felt that 13.XXX FSD was not as good as anything beyond 14.2 is - albeit i don't like that they didn't fix the phantom wiping and the new avoid road debris seems to have a hubris for tire marks - i can understand how this happens - driving past that one couple of times this is the HOV (high occupancy vehicle, in HOU it is 2+) exit lane on the US59 overpass - it is even tricky as a human driver if you are not used to the HOV exits to drive correctly. i don't think anything than bad PR will come out of it, and if you ask me, this is a supervisor (driver seat) fault...

similar event for myself and my wife:

FSD on an overpass HOV lane split. The cybertruck drove correctly into one side of the lane split and then instead of following into the curved lane the car decided to slightly slow and then to drive into the lane barrier. This led to a drop off beyond the barrier of two stories below. My wife shrieked and I grabbed the wheel and turned into the proper lane. This is while driving 60-70mph in the HOV lane.

This was on either FSD 12.x or 13.x After that I always kept my hand on the steering wheel while driving in HOV lanes.

To be clear I love my FSD on 14.x and use FSD 97% of the time.

I tell people how great it is to be driven AND that I watch it like a ‘hawk’.

I love articles like this - give little info, or even worse misguiding info and then change the topic to all the issues with Tesla and politics.

What do you expect from mainstream media? That is what they do nowadays to make a living!

Yeah for any unfamiliar routes, I’m usually more attentive to FSD’s driving. But if it’s a normal route to work/home/etc that I’ve been on with FSD at least once, I can relax a little bit more.

Paint zebra stripes on the jersey barriers. Actually a chevron pattern pointing in the driving direction would be best. Somewhere I was did that.

you aggre to these terms before FSD can be enabled. Where is any ground to stand on for a lawsuit?

You can waive liability, but not negligence.

Don't spend money on advertising, don't spend money on PR bullshit. Put it into the product.

I agree generally. The US automakers add something like $3000 to each vehicle to pay for all their advertising, and that's just nutty. I don't need to see a Tesla Super Bowl commercial at $1M/sec.

However, Tesla actually does quite a bit of "marketing". There's an official X account that tweets, and a YouTube channel. While those are "free", the production costs are not (albeit relatively low). I've occasionally seen some Tesla ads in the socials, too.

Tesla was basically forced to advertise in China when a case of unintended acceleration turned into "murder robot" hysteria, and they needed to clear up public perception.

Using advertising as a defensive move is not the same as carpet-bombing the airwaves with lifestyle ads.

Recent clip posted by @moreperfectunion seems to have lowered the quality of the dashcam clip.
