The car owner was careless and did not flash! FSD caused the Tesla Model 3 to successfully fly into the pond

The car owner's carelessness led to the Tesla Model 3 flying into the pond due to FSD

【Phoneauto News】Although the name of the Tesla’s advanced driver-assistance system is “Full Self-Drive” (FSD), it does not mean that the vehicle actually has the ability for full autonomous driving. Ultimately, it is currently just a set of driver-assistance system that still requires the driver to monitor the entire journey. Although Tesla wants to make FSD a reality, it still seems to be difficult at the moment, as another accident caused by activating FSD has recently occurred.

Recently, a Tesla Model 3 owner used the FSD beta version on a highway near the city of Monrovia, California. He was driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour (approximately 96 kilometers per hour) and did not notice a yellow “flooding” sign on the side of the road. The FSD system completely ignored this sign. The driver thought the system knew what it was doing, so he decided to let the car handle it on its own. However, instead of slowing down, the car drove directly into the flooded area. As a result, due to the water accumulation and excessive speed, the vehicle lost traction and eventually skidded off the road, falling into a pond.

Fortunately, there were no oncoming vehicles at that time, as other drivers saw the road signs and did what any cautious driver would do: turn around. Unfortunately, due to entering the water, this Model 3 may be considered totaled and can only be towed to a junkyard or sold as spare parts. Although the driver was not injured, he is angry with both Tesla and the local authorities and plans to seek compensation by suing them. However, the chances of winning are slim because he himself ignored the warning signs.

Damaged Vehicle

However, it is believed that this accident has taught the driver a lesson: no matter how Tesla promotes its driving assistance system, the FSD beta version is not truly fully autonomous driving. It still requires human eyes, hands, and brain to maintain control of the vehicle.
