Not if you tap the brakes.Wrenching control away from FSD still leaves TACC active today. I do this all the time in problem areas that I drive where FSD wants to swerve me out of my lane.

It would be good if driver assistance systems prevented drunk driving deaths, whether engaged or not. Remember many sober innocent people die in such accidents.Who cares what FSD did. If you’re intoxicated and crash, we know why that happened.
But this was a long time ago, possibly before the FSD beta was available.It would be good if driver assistance systems prevented drunk driving deaths, whether engaged or not. Remember many sober innocent people die in such accidents.
So what the system is capable of is relevant.
Of course, this is a terrible example, because it sounds like even Tesla does not know what was engaged.
All we know is that the system is not capable of this sort of accident avoidance at the current time, whether engaged or not.
2022But this was a long time ago, possibly before the FSD beta was available.
According to Tesla, Tesla does not have access to the logs. There is a video at the end of the article with the investigating officer, which covers this. The family has not sued since they cannot get a lawyer to take the case since Ohain was very drunk.Given this happened almost 2 years ago one would have to assume Tesla has pulled all the data logs and knows EXACTLY what happened and has the family "sued Tesla" if AP/FSD was at fault?
Really?2022
FSD Beta was available from October 2021 or so.
No idea what was in use if anything.
Presumably he had access to FSD Beta but there is some lack of clarity in the article. It’s not clear whether they understand the distinctions. It’s not directly addressed I don’t think (only quickly skimmed).
They conflate FSD Beta with FSD, and at the time FSD and FSD Beta were different. These days they are largely the same, though in Autosteer (Beta) there are features which are only available to FSD buyers. So there is still crossover which makes it unclear exactly what is being discussed.
I was hopeful the video evidence above would confirm that FSD Beta was available to this owner, but it does not appear it can be used to address this topic. Video was nearly certainly taken before single stack in late 2022, so visualizations were apparently identical on the freeway.
The idea here is to establish facts.Really?
And then you post "“At the time, Tesla had just introduced Full Self-Driving, "
Their blood alcohol levels were through the roof. Sober drivers know that you have to continue to pay attention when driving with FSD, autopilot, or without either.
WaPo reporting on an FSD-involved fatality of a Tesla employee. Did we already know about this or is this breaking news?
The idea here is to establish facts.
You said it was possible this was before FSD Beta was available. This is not possible, since FSD Beta WAS available.
I have clarified that it was available (at this time via Safety Score qualification and eventual (slow) admission).
I doubt FSD Beta was engaged during or before this collision. And I doubt Ohain had access to it (he only owned FSD, so without further effort only had access to AP/Autosteer and Stop Sign/Traffic Light Control and Green Light Beep). Just based on the balance of the evidence. I may well change my mind about that based on additional evidence.
Perhaps.But the absolute most important thing is that whatever it was then, isn't what it is now and all the rules have changed.
So completely irrelevant news filler.
How about a news story about every person who fell asleep and Tesla's AP/FSD prevented an accident?
I know of one coworker who did exactly that.
I also know of another coworker who wasn't driving a Tesla and got into a severe accident.

Because the media is trying to find an accident caused by Tesla FSD.

This was my first question about this too.
There is a video in the article. Can someone identify whether he is using FSD Beta in that video based on the appearance of the screen? Obviously there is the complexity of single stack (this was on the freeway, and the visualizations certainly do not look the way FSD does today on the freeway). But I seem to recall blue tentacle meaning FSD Beta and blue lane lines meaning AP...was that the case even on the freeway, before single stack? Anyway, I don't remember the details before and after single stack release about how it looked on the freeway and whether this video was taken before or after single stack, so putting it out here where I am sure someone can recall the exact version being used.
Anyway if the video capture below actually shows him using FSD Beta, then I think it's reasonable to assume that if the feature was engaged at the time of the crash, he was using FSD Beta, not AP (it's not really common to switch back and forth).
Unfortunately, based on the story it sounds like we'll never know whether any assistance feature was engaged, since according to Tesla no data connection existed at the time of the accident, and the car was burnt badly enough it was impossible to determine from the vehicle itself. That's somewhat inconsistent with other information in the story (where it is misstated (I think) that FSD was engaged at least 30 seconds before the crash - that's not the criteria), but maybe the complaint mentioned in the story just alleged that that was the case.

I understand your point but these are false equivalencies, in my opinion. If a life is lost due to the fault of the system, it doesn't get "redeemed" by someone else's live being saved. It's not a zero sum game. In the cases you describe, the system simply worked as promised. You expect it, based on Tesla's marketing and publicly made statements, to work in such way. You don't expect it to run into a solid wall, for example, as has been a case with one tragic incident.
Thanks.Yeah, that's NoA.
FSD Beta at the time (even on freeway) = New "FSD" visuals + Blue Tentacle
NoA = Old "FSD/AP" visuals + blue tentacle
AP = Old "FSD/AP" visuals + lane lines
