Tesla FSD narrowly avoids collision with a passing train at crossing
A Tesla running the latest FSD software failed to stop at an active railroad crossing, nearly driving directly into a moving train.
Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology is facing fresh safety scrutiny following a dangerous close call at a railroad crossing. According to the driver and dashcam footage, a Tesla operating on the company's latest software build failed to stop for an active crossing and nearly collided with a passing train.
The incident involves FSD v14.3.7, which is the newest build released by Tesla. This recurring failure highlights ongoing concerns regarding the system's ability to accurately detect and respond to critical infrastructure hazards like railroad crossings in real-world driving scenarios.
According to Electrek, this marks at least the third time this year that the outlet has documented FSD attempting to drive a vehicle into the path of a train. Such persistent glitches emphasize that autonomous driving software still struggles with basic, high-risk obstacles.
For technology enthusiasts and the growing electric vehicle community, these incidents serve as a vital reminder. Even as autonomous driving features advance globally, constant driver vigilance remains absolutely essential to prevent potential tragedies on the road.
