Video: Tesla Full-Self Driving Veers Off Road, Hits Tree, and Flips Car for No Obvious Reason (No Serious Injuries, but Scary)

A 2025 Tesla Model 3 drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media. The problem? The car was driving itself in Full Self-Driving. The subtitle from the

The worst part is that this problem has already been solved by using LIDAR. Vegas had fully self-driving cars that I saw perform flawlessly, because they were manufactured by a company that doesn’t skimp on tech and rip people off.

Are those the ones that you can completely immobilize with a traffic cone?
Show threadSoftestSapphicMay 23, 2025
Yes lol

Probably Zoox, but conceptually similar, LiDAR backed.

You can immobilize them by setting anything large on them. Your purse, a traffic cone, a person :)

Probably makes sense to be a little cautious with the gas pedal when there is an anything on top the vehicle.

That and if you just put your toddler on the roof of the car or something or trunk for a quick second to grab something from your pocket…VROooOMMM baby gone.

Do I need to pay extra for that feature?
Show threadSynopsisTantilizeMay 26, 2025
Nope! That one’s free.

You say that like it’s a bad thing lol if it kept going, that cone would fly off and hit somebody.
Show threadayyyMay 23, 2025
The same is true when you put a cone in front of a human driver’s vision. I don’t understand why “haha I blocked the vision of a driver and they stopped driving” is a gotcha.
Show threadTheGrandNagusMay 24, 2025

A human also (hopefully anyway) wouldn’t drive if you put a cone over their head.

Like yeah, if you purposely block the car’s vision, it should refuse to drive.

I wouldn’t really called it a solved problem when waymo with lidar is crashing into physical objects

www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/…/ar-AA1EMVTF

NHTSA stated that the crashes “involved collisions with clearly visible objects that a competent driver would be expected to avoid.” The agency is continuing its investigation.

It’d probably be better to say that Lidar is the path to solving these problems. But not solved.

Lidar doesn’t completely solve the issue lol. Lidar can’t see line markings, speed signs, pedestrian crossings, etc. Cars equipped with lidar crash into things too.

I oversold it in my original comment, but it still performs better than using regular cameras like Tesla did. It performs better in weather and other scenarios than standard cameras. Elon is dumb though and doesn’t think LiDAR is needed for self-driving.

Let me guess……you watched mark rober’s video? Lol

I’ve watched a few random ones over the years. No idea who he is.
