Tesla Cybertruck in full autonomous mode is involved in an interesting accident
Tesla Cybertruck came up with an accident that he was involved in the autonomous mode this time.

Tesla Cybertruck came up with an accident that he was involved in the autonomous mode this time.
Tesla’s advanced driver support system Full Self-Drring (FSD) has a new accident on the agenda. Software developer Jonathan Chalinger, who lives in Florida, USA, announced that he had had an accident with Tesla Cybertruck. His share of his social media account rapidly spread out and attracted great attention.
Challinger said the accident took place while using Tesla’s most current FSD v13.2.4 software. As the vehicle was on the right lane, he said that this lane ended and should pass the left lane. However, the system did not make any moves and the vehicle hit the sidewalk, he said. When the driver noticed this, he failed to handle control, and Cybertruck hit a direct lighting pole. Fortunately, Challinger survived the accident without injury.
Stating that the position of the pole is a bit unusual at the point where the accident took place, the driver, nevertheless, stressed that Tesla’s autonomous driving system should not fall into such a mistake. He added that FSD should either make a lane change or at least stop the vehicle. Accepting his own mistake, Challinger said that they should be careful at any time during the driving by giving an important warning to Tesla owners. He stated that the driver support systems are still not fully safe and that the drivers should not relax at the wheel by relying completely.
Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk suggests that FSD technology will soon become completely autonomous, while such accidents show that the system is still far from being perfect. Although Musk often argues that FSD is safer than human drivers, such events reveal that Tesla is a longer way to go to the autonomous driving area. Users can make carelessness, especially with the latest updates, thinking that the system is much more advanced. However, this incident once again revealed that drivers should not leave control over the vehicle despite Tesla’s claims.
