Edit: I'm embarrassed to say that I did not watch the video. It's much worse than the description implies. The pedestrian was in the crosswalk, and crossing. FSD absolutely should have stopped.
However, as the article points out, "California law requires drivers to come to a complete stop for pedestrians at crosswalks".
I see this as a failure of the FSD development process, not of FSD. Tesla's software devs simply aren't familiar with driving laws. They may not even be drivers - it's not a requirement.
You'd expect Tesla to simply teach the algorithm to follow driving laws, but they haven't done that.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoTesla purposefully programs its FSD to drive "human-like" rather than strictly following the laws. For example, it will go with the flow of traffic rather than strictly following the speed limit.
- LeoPanthera 3y agoAh yes, but that's under the control of the driver. I can set it to obey the speed limit easily. Where's the option for "stop for pedestrians at crosswalks"?
- michaelmior 3y ago> Where's the option for "stop for pedestrians at crosswalks"? I really hope this doesn't happen. Configurable driving behaviors might make sense to a degree, but this feels dangerous. I would hope that the Department of Transportation (or equivalent in other countries) would regulate such things.
