Tesla's Self-Driving System Involved in a Serious Crash: Driver Injured
Tesla's Full Self-Driving Mode Involved in a Serious Accident: Driver Injured, Car Totaled A recent accident involving a Tesla vehicle operating in Full Self-Driving (FSD) supervised mode has raised concerns about the safety of autonomous driving technology. The incident occurred in the United States, when a Tesla Model 3, leased by a driver identified as Wally, veered off the road while traveling to work. According to Wally, the car's wheel suddenly turned rapidly, causing it to enter a ditch and collide with a tree. The vehicle flipped over, leaving Wally injured. He said: "The oncoming car passed, and the wheel started turning rapidly, driving into the ditch, and sideswiping the tree, and the car flipped over. I did not have any time to react." This accident occurred just days after Tesla released a tweet stating that drivers using FSD supervised mode only need to "lean back and watch the road." This statement, in light of Wally's experience, is now being questioned. The incident underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems, even those with driver supervision. Wally's injuries and the totaled vehicle serve as a stark reminder of the potential risks involved. While the accident is concerning, it's important to note that this is one incident and does not necessarily reflect the overall safety record of Tesla's FSD technology. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause of the accident.
