Current Events > So I got run out of my lane earlier today. That was fun.

I was on the way to the post office to mail some equipment back because I canceled my cable TV service. At least I avoided a collision. I'd rather not have to spend my vacation getting my car fixed.

looks like you were in the truck's blind spot, so it could have been an honest mistake. OR it was a MAGAt being aggressive because you're in a Tesla. who knows.

as you passed him did you glance over and give the "what in the mother of fuck is wrong with you bro?" look?

I did that, but she was purposefully not looking at me, lol. On one hand, if I got hit, I might have been able to get some money from her insurance, but that assumes she actually has insurance.

were you using the FSD mode right there? or was that you getting out of the way?

That was me.

Ran myself off and crashed thanks to a goddamn oppossum.

every day ending in y on my commute. Had three people do this to me in *one* drive home one day, and my reactions were increasingly aggressive -_-

It's possible but at the very beginning of the clip it looks like OP is turning at a turn that has two lanes to make a left there. She had to have seen OP when they were making the turn. I think it's just shitty driving. It's also why you have to turn your head to see in your blind spot before changing lanes.

Looks like some idiot simply not paying attention focused on getting around that truck that's turning left.

I thank my sweet stars every day that I no longer have to commute

or get after market blind spot attachments for your mirrors. those things are so handy.

Did the FSD do anything to move out the way before you took over? Can it, or are you supposed to take the wheel in that instance anyway.

I mean, I assume you have to have your hand on the wheel/near it at all times or like every 5 seconds or whatever.

Just wondering how far the beta is/how far that feature is supposed to be able to do.

It can avoid accidents on its own by moving over, but I didn't have autopilot active at that time.

Years ago, I was going test drives with a friend from work. He was driving with autopilot on and a truck came out of an exit and moved into his lane improperly. The car moved over on its own.
