... The self-proclaimed self-driving gadfly posted a video this week showing a staged event in which a Tesla running the latest version of its self-driving software illegally overtook a school bus with its red lights flashing (indicating it is dropping off passengers) and then slammed into a child-sized mannequin emerging from the sidewalk. The car identified the pedestrian, but didn't stop after hitting it and carried on down the road.

To be fair to Tesla, a human driver would have had problems stopping in time to avoid the dummy, although one would hope that a human driver would have noticed the lights and stopped as legally required. However, the software running the car -- FSD (Supervised) 13.2.9 -- did not. (FSD originally for "full self-driving," but as the parenthetical now denotes, Tesla's own documentation has always said that the driver should be supervising at all times.)

The Dawn Project has its own agenda. It was founded by software entrepreneur Dan O'Dowd to highlight the dangers of Tesla's self-driving claims when matched with reality. O'Dowd, who owns several Teslas himself -- including original Roadster models -- has been sounding concerns about the software for years. ...

@#1 ... To be fair to Tesla, a human driver would have had problems stopping in time to avoid the dummy ...

Also to be fair, a human driver might have noticed the school bus lights, and stopped.

@#3 ... This self driving is%^* is gonna kill people. ...

I agree, but maybe for a different reason.

How many drivers will turn on and just sit back as they have believed the sales pitch of full self-driving?

Asked differently, one evening in a winter a few years ago, when we used to get snow here, I was driving home from an evening visit with a friend's family.

Many of the roads I drove on were not visible because snow does not distinguish between road and non-road.

So, I was navigating by my memory of the houses and other structures on the road.

Full-self driving seems to have issues in the States where there is no such thing as snow.

But ... that aside ... how does full self-driving do in snow-bound roads?

Why don't we see information about that?
