Has that been confirmed? Electrek is essentially Tesla propaganda and O’Dowd denied the claims, but I haven’t seen independent confirmation of whether the test was valid.

Fair question. But the points Electrek put forward seem pretty reasonable. FSD needs maps to operate, the tests were done on a private field, so the FSD stays off. I'm currently taking these propositions as true, but if they're false then it's one word against another. I remain curious, what exactly is happening here?

    What they're driving on in the video in the grandparent's edit is definitely not a public street.

It seems like the impacts seem to be happening as the auto drive is in the process of disengaging itself and is decelerating to do so, according to the article. That seems like a grey area, but lets say that this is advertised as full autopilot without the need for human intervention (which it is). Then, a case where this autopilot stops working that leads to an accident is still a serious problem - considering the claims by Tesla How can they claim full automatic piloting when the system could turn off when the area you’re driving in isn’t mapped by them? This is based on the articles anyway

  How is it full autopilot if it disengages on its own? It will point your car at a child but then turn off autopilot so you become liable for running over a child? it's so absurd, I'm not sure why anyone would support this approach.

Very interesting you'd call out someone for being biased, given your submission history is mostly comprised of negative articles about Tesla.
