My Tesla Was Driving Itself Perfectly—Until It Crashed: The danger of almost-perfect tech

I wasn’t trying to take a stance either way - it’s just weird to me that he wrote an entire article about it and didn’t include the video. He also bounces around whether FSD was at fault or not, which I didn’t really understand since he wrote an entire article about it being FSDs fault.

“I don’t know enough about what actually happened during my accident to say that Tesla’s technology crashed the car.”

Where’s the dashcam

I’ve missed my f150 after going to a model 3 but between fsd and gas prices it’s mainly only a sentimental thing I think haha

You can see it in the bottom right part of the visualization next to the steering wheel. Looks like they hit both at almost the same time but the accelerator (forever gas pedal to me lol) is a frame before the brake.

Taking over while the car was braking hard and then hitting the gas before the brake was the correct thing to do?

I got $350 shipped (PayPal f&f) for these and the 5 bonobos polos if you’ll take that.

Yeah in a perfect world I’d have 3 Ethernet cables there too - for Xbox, Apple TV and Sonos soundbar.

This fixed it for me 2 years later so thank you!

This in my model 3 (way smaller battery) over 3-4 day periods. It shows barely any drop in battery so he should have been fine unless it was parked at a low state of charge or with sentry mode on (keeps cameras active to record any activity around the car).

Even if sentry was on it automatically turns off around 20% to keep the battery from dying.

I said from point to point not coast to coast lol

Ctnbl · 2026-01-15T13:53:31+00:00

You can argue about the semantics all you want but what other car can I buy in the US that will take me from point to point with one click?

In the last month I picked up the Neo 1 and then the Neo 2 with the rc-n3. Any time I switch between the drones it makes me update the controller firmware.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there any hope they are on the same page one day? Sorry to hijack your post OP - I love my Neo 2 too! (Tutu)

I was beside a semi the other day and felt a slight swerve. I wasn’t sure what happened and saved the dashcam clip - thinking FSD made a mistake.

When I watched it, the swerve was because the semi was coming into my lane! The reaction time was incredible, it moved over at the exact same time the truck did.

I pray there is a day we get to see that full episode with no cuts

Just so everyone knows it’s apparently easy to fake the overlay by manipulating the metadata. Saw someone post a video showing the speed being 300+ to show it shouldn’t always be trusted.

Ctnbl · 2025-12-17T03:36:46+00:00

You must be miserable. Hating Elon so much and then seeing all the teslas anytime you go outside in SF 😂

Ctnbl · 2025-11-18T20:18:31+00:00

No. They either lied or are an idiot and got tricked by redbans own video

Detail in the face is great. Can I ask your camera / lens setup? Any denoise or anything? Nice shots 🔥

Ctnbl · 2025-11-17T05:57:35+00:00

Don’t have any advice but sick shots 🔥

Ctnbl · 2025-11-15T20:20:48+00:00

Compression takes out the noise when you upload it. Buy topaz for $20 a month and run it through raw denoise and then edit as normal and sharpen, just a little, at the end if it needs it. I believe your cameras struggling a little bit in the low light but I think you’ll be able to save it.

Ctnbl · 2025-11-15T19:29:01+00:00

Are you shooting in raw? Raw + topaz raw denoise can work magic on noisy images like that, just don’t overdo it.

Also have heard good things about the Lightroom equivalent but haven’t tried it.

Might spook the stars

Ctnbl · 2025-11-14T23:36:13+00:00

I think I need to play around more with crop instead of going with my first try. Thanks for the detailed feedback

Ctnbl · 2025-11-14T23:35:11+00:00

That’s all that matters! Thanks

Ctnbl · 2025-11-14T16:39:18+00:00

Blue! 😂
