This looks like a weird navigation failure. It certainly shouldn't have made this maneuver at all, but it's provably false to say it would have run over the pedestrians... this frame shows it:

Context - this is after the sudden sharp turn, as the driver is taking over.
- We can see the system is still driving itself; the driver has not taken over and is not a factor. The blue steering wheel shows this.
- The dotted line coming off the car shows its intended path. If you step through the video, you can see it decide it's going to make the turn (for some unknown reason).
- Before the driver takes over, as this frame shows, we see the car decide to turn back to the left and resume its correct course. In fact, if you step through the video, you can see the car is turning the wheel to the left, rotating under the driver's hands before the driver applies enough force to disengage.
- The car was aware of the pedestrian at the time it decided to make the turn (you can see them on the screen), and its clear the path would not have collided with the person even if the driver had not taken over, and the car had not corrected itself.
- But the car did correct itself, and intended to resume its straight course before the driver took over, as that frame above shows.
This is not "Tesla almost hits pedestrian!", this is "Tesla makes bad navigation decision, driver takes over before car would have safely corrected"
- renewiltord 5y agoYeah, looks like it. Software could use some smoothing on its actions, though.
- stagger87 5y ago> but it's provably false to say it would have run over the pedestrians... You can't prove something like that, I mean consider the irony that you typed this statement right after > It certainly shouldn't have made this maneuver at all How can you prove that it wouldn't have made another unexpected maneuver? It's all speculation, and that's OK. I wish OP used a different title, because everyone seems to be getting hung up on it, when the lede is certainly the FSD being unable to maintain a straight line.
- yellow_lead 5y agoI love that your defense is that the car would've stopped closer to the pedestrian than the driver did.
