Tesla drivers say new self-driving update is repeatedly running red lights [View all]

https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-fsd-update-red-lights

Tesla drivers are saying the latest version of the car company's "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) software is making their cars run red lights, alarming anybody concerned about these so-called self-driving cars.

"Thankfully I stopped it before it ran the light," wrote one Redditor user in a thread with several other Tesla drivers experiencing the same thing, "but hopefully Tesla is aware their software is at a very dangerous level right now."

"I've also had that happen once or twice at below 30 mph," another person wrote. "Having trust issues because of it [not gonna lie]."

A YouTuber posted a video clearly showing the red light problem Redditors brought up in their thread. "Don't do that! That's a red light," the YouTuber exclaimed while he was driving through the downtown area of Newark, New Jersey, and the vehicle tried to drive through a red light at an intersection.


TLDR; It's not FSD. And robotaxis won't have a human to hit the brakes.

There's another article that goes into limitations in the all-camera system.
