Craig Doty II, a Tesla owner, narrowly avoided a collision after his vehicle, in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode, allegedly steered towards an oncoming train.

Nighttime dashcam footage from earlier this month in Ohio captured the harrowing scene: Doty’s Tesla rapidly approaching a train with no apparent deceleration. He insisted his Tesla was in Full Self-Driving mode when it barreled towards the train crossing without slowing down.

    I wouldn’t trust Musk with my life either.

    But, presumably, we have moved beyond the age of advertising snake oil and miracle cures; advertisements have to be somewhat factual.

    If a user does as is advertised and something goes wrong I do believe it’s the advertiser who is liable.

        Right. But can you blame the user for trusting the advertisement?

          At the dealership? Kinda, yeah, it’s a dealership and news like this pop up every week.

          On the road? I wouldn’t trust my life to any self-driving in this day and age.

        If the product doesn’t do what it says it does, that’s the product / manufacturers fault. Not the users fault. Wtf lol how is this even a debate.
