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

- ra7 5y agoIt’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.
- redis_mlc 5y agoThere are offramp/VTA/Highway 101 junctions in Sunnyvale (roughly near the former Blue Cube) that humans can't decode, let alone any car. As a pedestrian, I had to watch for a couple of light cycles to figure out where the lanes were. There's multiple versions of roadway markings in seemingly random directions, some leading to cement columns. I think the new Apple Tesla driver got killed near there.
- bdamm 5y agoThey are building maps of drivable areas. It may not be HD, but it certainly would apply in this scenario.
- bagels 5y agoI hope they don't use where the fsd decides to drive as truth data for those maps.
- toothrot 5y agoThe pole literally has pedestrian buttons on it. I'm fairly certain that humans are intended to push them. Maps might help, though!
- ra7 5y agoStreet View [1] shows it's a railway track. The car didn't figure out it was one. [1] https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3347669,-121.8882277,3a,75y,133h,83.55t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKnQIa-TBW9vF4N79wJkXgg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3347669,-121.8882277,3a,75y,...
- toothrot 5y agoOh good lord the pedestrian islands don't have curbs. I hadn't considered that a possibility.
- ajross 5y agoThat was a street-level rail track. There was no curb.
