Imagine cruising down the road in your supposedly cutting-edge Tesla, only to discover the “self-driving” software has a death wish when it comes to train crossings. That’s exactly what’s happening to Tesla owners across the country, and it’s as terrifying as it sounds.

The Train Track Roulette

Drivers are reporting heart-stopping moments where their supposedly smart vehicles seem to have a serious death wish around railroad crossings. We’re talking about cars that ignore flashing lights, lowering gate arms, and even oncoming trains like they’re playing a high-stakes game of chicken.

Elon’s Wild Promises

Musk continues to tout Full Self-Driving (FSD) as the future of transportation, but these incidents reveal a troubling reality. Experts are calling it an “accident waiting to happen,” with some drivers experiencing near-misses that could have ended in catastrophic crashes.

The Safety Skepticism

While Tesla claims these vehicles can navigate “almost anywhere,” the reality is far from their marketing pitch. Autonomous technology experts point out that the software’s training might be fundamentally flawed, potentially missing crucial data about railroad crossings.

The most shocking part? Last year, 267 people died at railroad crossings. Now imagine adding potentially unpredictable autonomous vehicles into that mix. Yikes.
