Tesla Autopilot Dangerous at Railway Crossings: NBC News Investigation.

According to Korrespondent.net: Tesla has once again attracted attention due to malfunctions in the Full-Self Driving (FSD) autopilot system. According to NBC News, the software may incorrectly respond to railway crossings.

Journalists captured the moment when the Model Y approached an active crossing without stopping until the driver took control. The barrier was just beginning to lower, which may partially explain why the system did not trigger.

Safety Issues at Crossings

Such situations are not new. Tesla drivers are sharing their issues on forums and social media, posting videos where cars do not stop in time before the tracks. In June, there was a case where a Tesla drove onto the tracks during a turn and was hit by a train.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has confirmed that it is aware of these cases and has already contacted the manufacturer. The agency stated that it is continuously analyzing user complaints to determine whether this is a systemic safety issue.

Insufficient Training of the Software

Experts believe that the software may not have been sufficiently trained to recognize different types of crossings in the U.S. It is strange that the system sometimes ignores even flashing warning lights. In one instance, the FSD chose a green traffic light, ignoring the fact that the barrier was already lowering.

Tesla and Elon Musk have not commented on the situation yet. At the same time, the billionaire shared on social media that FSD is now available in Australia and New Zealand. Car owners are advised to be especially cautious at railway crossings.

It is worth recalling that earlier it was reported that Tesla hides most details about Robotaxi accidents.
