Tesla driver shares terrifying dashcam footage of crash in Tesla just moments after unknowingly FSD disengages

Some aren't convinced by the data

Tesla is once again getting some negative press over the use of its Full Self-Driving technology, with one driver sharing dashcam footage from a crash where they claim their FSD failed.

Elon Musk has recently taken flak as it looks like his long-awaited plan of autonomous rides in Austin could be hitting a roadblock, while he's also had to deal with facing up to the company's massive 70% slump in profits since he stepped up to join the Department of Government Efficiency.

Despite a glowing review from Joe Rogan, where he praised Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology, there are some concerning reports of cars driving into deer or poles.

Tesla first tested FSD in 2020 before rolling it out across North America in late 2022.

Notably, it's pointed out how some of us have some seriously dangerous driving habits.

On the r/TeslaFSD subreddit, one driver shared a short clip that shows their Model 3 running off the road and straight into a tree.

The OP claims they had Full-Self Drive v13.2.8 installed, which is supposed to boast "improved reward predictions for collision avoidance."

It's initially unclear what happens, with the driver claiming FSD is disengaged.

Responding to the original thread, someone said: "Tesla owes him a car this is ridiculous. I understand FSD is 'supervised' but this was straight up unavoidable and suicidal on the cars part."

Another added: "It's crazy it just flings itself off the road so fast before you can even react to what's going on."

There were plenty of theories, like whether FSD mistook the shadow of a telephone pole for the bottom of a wall and swerved to avoid, while also not being able to see the tree.

Some accused the driver of being at fault, asking them to upload their crash data.

Even after this, the thread was filled with those claiming he disengaged FSD by turning the wheel, and others putting the blame on Tesla.

One skeptic chimed in: "Sadly the data shows that OP disengaged autopilot and manually steered the vehicle off the road. Not sure that he should have posted this publicly it's going to make the insurance claim a nightmare."

Someone else concluded: "So in other words, FSD and the OP tried to compete with each other ended up disengaging the FSD cause the torque was great enough to be considered the user is taking over."

Keen to show all angles on the accident, he even uploaded the various camera angles to YouTube, but unfortunately, we're no closer to finding out what really happened here.

Still, the driver shared images of their wrecked Model 3 on its roof, showing that no matter who was at fault, it was a pretty serious crash.
