The Twitter user is located in MA, and the driver handbook says (https://www.mass.gov/doc/drivers-manual/download https://www.mass.gov/doc/drivers-manual/download, page 85):
"You must yield to pedestrians entering or using a crosswalk in your travel path."
At least one pedestrian was unambiguously "using a crosswalk" in the car's travel path, and the other one was entering the crosswalk as well. I wouldn't consider this a marginal case.
I think Teslas are otherwise great cars but I would never use FSD in a million years. I think it should be banned on public streets until it's gone through testing that is far more rigorous.
- loeg 5y agoThe video is from Seattle, but the same yield-to-pedestrians-in-crosswalks applies here, too.
- howinteresting 5y agoBy the way, the "safer than the mean human driver" bit is irrelevant when you consider the distribution of human drivers. They need to be safer than (say) the 95th percentile of human drivers, which is a far higher bar to clear than the mean.
