Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” sees pedestrian, chooses not to slow down

I’m curious if this twitter video was posted by the same fellow that posted the Teslas hitting ‘kids’.
Also the same guy that competes with Tesla.

 

It's even worse than that!

It looks like the human driver made no attempt to correct or override the car's error.

...and then went on social media to brag about getting away with it??

Might be enough internet for the day.

 

i do rolling stop signs in familiar territory wher you can easily see both ways. but i always stop even if a pedestrian is waiting at the sidewalk to cross, unless i don't notice them

 

It's good that the car detected the pedestrian, but from looking at the dash display it did NOT detect the crosswalk, which would be essential for this thing to realize that the pedestrian had the right of way.

How did Tesla let it get this far along without crosswalk comprehension factoring into its understanding of traffic?

 

Crosswalk detection will also need to understand that pedestrians also have right-of-way at unmarked crosswalks too. The zebra stripes are not a required element of a legal crosswalk, at least in the states where I have been licensed.

On top of that, even when the other party lacks right-of-way, drivers still have a legal duty to take all reasonable measures to avoid collision. One of my siblings avoided a citation for her initial fault in a collision for that very reason. When she realized her error, she immediately halted. The other driver, who had right-of-way, but plenty of opportunity to avoid the crash, instead accelerated into her.

 

The last five days, I drove ~1,000 miles on Full Self Driving (FSD) and Autopilot. The problems that forced me to 'take over:'

• Wrong lane choice - coming up on a left or right turn intersection, it would lane change to the wrong lane and then try to force itself back at the intersection.
• Left turns - don't trust it as it can get confused by some dashed lines and try to go catty wompus.
• Google Map errors - former construction zones scanned by the Google cars can lead to terrible routing, phantom braking, wrong speeds, and ugly lane wandering. That Tesla let's Google Map override sensible driving ... UGH!
• On ramp merging traffic the car did not change lane to let them on,

Very few pedestrians around but in Las Vegas, it did move to the far side of the lane to keep distance from a pedestrian on the curb.
