I was driving to Santa Cruz to drop off my daughter today, and on the 880 south after passing 280 interchange, there was a big truck to the left of me.
I was doing 72 and just driving along normally. Suddenly, the truck starts entering my lane, no turn signal, nothing. I could see his mirror, so he should have been able to see me. Obviously, the a-hole wasnāt looking. I swerved hard, braked, the truck went back into his lane.
I honked, and slowed down, the truck AGAIN starts entering my lane, almost hitting me again! WTF. I swerved, and went to another lane.
After calming down in 2-3 seconds, I ask my daughter to download the teslacam footage. Just now I got back home, checked, and it has everything BUT the moment of the near-crash. What the hell?
I donāt have the clips saved on honk, so donāt post about how I should have done that. I donāt like to save every time I honk to gently nudge someone who is not paying attention when the light turns green.
I say, I have said Tesla software and UI engineers are very mediocre. This event just cements my belief that that is the case.
At the exact time of the near-crash, there is a 1KB file called event.json, which is a Java script, I am presuming. But no clips.
I do have clips starting about a half minute later, and they have the truck license captured. My daughter took a picture too. However, without proof, I cannot make a report to the Police, or the trucking company now.
