Wait for the results. You would be absolutely amazed with the amount of people who accidentally hit the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal and smash into their garages. Many many many of these people blame it on the vehicle. In this case maybe it was but maybe it wasn’t. Also he had autopilot on turning into his driveway?

Why not? It is meant take you door-to-door. If you trust it, that is part of the functionality you are trusting
… and people yell at me for wanting to figure out if there’s a pattern I can paint my garage wall less likely to fool autopilot than plain white. I wish I had one on those garages with raised edges around where the car fits
As far as I had heard, Tesla is still at level 2 and therefore is not door to door at all.
I was just in one. It will sometimes do parking spots. It will absolutely do a Knight Rider and leave its parking spot to come pick you up, if it is a non public road.
Legally they’re at level 2. Functionally it will drive itself door-to-door. The difference is the driver is legally responsible if they let self-driving fuck up, but the same is true whether driving on train tracks or ignoring construction flags, or colliding with a garage
Install retractable bollards
While there’s scenarios for this to be tempting, I’m talking about me, in my car. No I don’t want my car colliding with a bollard.
I’ve done a couple free trials of Full Self-Driving and find it truly amazing technology, but it’s not ready yet. I’ve come to realize that every drive seems to have edge cases. It may already be safer than people in “normal” driving but when every drive has edge cases, there’s a really long tail of scenarios to handle.
If self-driving gets to the point where I’d trust it, the final challenge is my car is parking. Mine is one of the years they removed parking sensors but did not yet have a bumper camera and Tesla has been having a really hard time with that. In particular, even testing self-driving with very few takeovers, it doesn’t always have understanding of small distances for parking
Yes like the famous runaway Toyota fatality case where it was discovered that the driver was holding the accelerator down after it had been reported for months that it was faulty software.
