Tesla Full Self-Driving veers off road, flips car in scary crash driver couldn’t prevent
A Tesla vehicle using the latest Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised update veered off the road and flipped over, resulting in a crash that the driver could not prevent. While many crashes involving Tesla's FSD have occurred, they often involve drivers not paying attention. Despite being labeled as Full Self-Driving, FSD is a level 2 driver assist system, requiring constant driver attention and readiness to take control.
A Tesla vehicle on the latest Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised update suddenly veered off road and flipped the car upside down – creating a scary crash that the driver said he couldn’t prevent.
We have seen many crashes involving Tesla’s Supervised FSD over the years, but the vast majority of them have a major contributing factor in common: the driver is not paying attention or is not ready to take control.
A common crash scenario with Tesla FSD is that the vehicle doesn’t see an obstacle on the road, like a vehicle, and crashes into it, even though the driver would have had time to react if they were paying enough attention.
Despite its name, Full Self-Driving (FSD) is still considered a level 2 driver assist system and is not fully self-driving. It requires drivers to stay attentive at all times and for them to be ready to take control – hence while Tesla has more recently added ‘Supervised’ to the name.
