Tesla FSD system test encounters accident: vehicle crashes into pond

Recently, a Tesla accident occurred near Mono, California. A Tesla Model 3 owner encountered an accident while using Tesla's assisted driving system "Full Self-Driving" (FSD). The incident attracted public attention, and the video of the accident sparked widespread discussion online.

One early morning, a Tesla owner was testing the FSD system on the highway. He was confident in this system called "fully autonomous driving", but he did not expect that a yellow "flooding" sign would appear on the road not far ahead. Surprisingly, the FSD system completely ignored this sign and did not take any action to slow down or avoid it.

The car owner mistakenly believed that the FSD system had fully taken over the driving task, so he did not pay attention to the road sign warning and continued to drive at a speed of 60 miles per hour (approximately 96 kilometers per hour). However, the situation becomes dangerous when the vehicle drives into an area of ​​standing water marked by a flood sign. Driving into standing water at high speed, the vehicle quickly lost traction, began to skid, and eventually ran off the road, crashing into a roadside pond.

Video screenshots from the accident scene showed that the vehicle quickly sank into the pond after briefly surfacing. Fortunately, there were no oncoming vehicles at the time, and other drivers took evasive measures to successfully avoid further collisions.

According to the editor’s understanding, although Tesla has been actively promoting its FSD system, calling it “fully autonomous driving”, in fact, the system is still an assisted driving system and requires the driver to Always be alert and ready to intervene behind the wheel. Although Tesla emphasizes this point, similar accidents still occur from time to time, highlighting the limitations and challenges of autonomous driving technology at this stage.

Although the Tesla owner is angry with Tesla and the municipality and plans to pursue legal action, considering that he ignored the road while driving logo, he may be less likely to win the case.

This accident once again emphasizes that despite the continuous advancement of autonomous driving technology, drivers still need to remain vigilant to the road and traffic environment to ensure driving safety.
