The advanced driver assistance system is going to run into some problems with the Full Self-Driving still in its early stages. School buses that make frequent stops to allow children to board or disembark are required by law to stop in all lanes. It is thought that recognizing that would be a massive priority for the engineers of the company.
The results of the tests were conducted by the advocacy group The Dawn Project, who are against bothTesla and FSD. The project's credit goes to the internal camera that illuminates the pedals to show that the driver is not speeding. It's not clear whether full self-driving is also shown on the screen.
The footage is troubling. Two instances of a car not stopping for a school bus in front of children were documented. The school zone speed limits were ignored, as well as the 40 mile per hour speed limit.
The findings suggest that there are dangerous oversights of the driver assistance system.
In one instance, the project failed to intervene when a vehicle blew past a school bus stop sign, despite the fact that those around them consented to the testing.
Isn't that what tens of thousands ofTesla drivers are already doing when they drive on public roads?
There are videos that show autopilot properly stopping for school buses, but also videos where the school district does not. While a broader study or more data would be ideal, the fact that these inconsistencies exist at all might be, to many observers, ample evidence that FSD should not be considered road worthy.
It could use a name change and a complete rebrand so drivers aren't fooled into thinking the system is fully self-driving when it's clearly not.
There is more on full self- driving.
