news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-26 10:07:04

Tesla's so-called "self-driving" features have some serious issues with train tracks — and in a recent instance, it led to a small collision with a moving freight train. As Pennsylvania-based broadcaster WFMZ reports, a family of three was forced to exit their Tesla in the wee hours of the morning after it decided, when in an assisted driving mode, to turn left onto some train tracks. Jared Renshaw, the fire commissioner for Southeastern PA's Western Berks County, told WFMZ that the car was in
