The fact that there’s a non zero chance a Robotaxi can make this same mistake without someone in the seat to hit the brakes like this driver did is scary
Critical Disengagement on FSD v14.3.7.
Context: The car needed to leave the parking garage and go to HEB. It started from the second floor, made its way to the top floor, and I believe it tried to find a path through this metal wire fence. If it had gone through that, it was a 6 story drop to the ground. In the dashcam clip, it is clearly visible.
You can see the car is at 4 mph throughout the whole turn and is not slowing down. It wasn't trying to park because the route was set to leave the parking garage, not park in it. Either way, driving at 4 mph inches from the fencing is not okay.
I have an interior GoPro recording of the whole situation. It actually tried to drive into the fencing again after I restarted FSD. In thread 👇
Obviously since I disengaged, we don't know what it truly would have done. Maybe it would have made contact and stopped. This was as far as I was going to take it as someone responsible for the vehicle, so I believe this disengagement was fair.
I was not expecting something like this as the latest versions of FSD are exceptionally safe.

There's a reasonable possibility that a LIDAR equipped vehicle wouldn't pick up those steel cables either, the angular resolution isn't a strong point. I have no idea how you'd protect against this in a self-driving vehicle, other than building codes (that design is ridiculous)
