Footage of the Tesla vehicle allegedly on \u201cFull Self-Driving\u201d that caused an eight-car crash pile-up in San Francisco in November has emerged.<\/p>\n

It appears to show a classic case of phantom braking.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In November, an eight-car pile-up on the San Francisco Bay Bridge made the news after resulting in some minor injuries and blocking the traffic for over an hour.<\/p>\n

But the headline was that the car that caused it was reportedly a \u201cTesla on self-driving mode,\u201d or at least that\u2019s what the driver told the police.<\/p>\n

Now, as we know, Tesla does not have a \u201cself-driving mode.\u201d It has something it calls the \u201cFull Self-Driving package,\u201d which now includes Full Self-Driving Beta or FSD Beta.<\/p>\n

FSD Beta enables Tesla vehicles to drive autonomously to a destination entered in the car\u2019s navigation system, but the driver needs to remain vigilant and ready to take control at all times.<\/p>\n

Since the responsibility rests with the driver and not Tesla\u2019s system, it is still considered a level-two driver-assist system, despite its name.<\/p>\n

Following the accident, the driver of the Tesla told the police that the vehicle was in \u201cFull self-driving mode,\u201d but the police seemed to understand the nuances in the accident report:<\/p>\n

\n

P-1 stated V-1 was in Full self-driving mode at the time of the crash, I am unable to verify if V-1\u2019s Full 24 Self-Driving Capability was active at the time of the crash. On 11\/24\/2022, the latest Tesla Full Self 25 Driving Beta Version was 11 and is classified as SAE Intemational Level 2. SAE International Level2 is 26 not classified as an autonomous vehicle. Under Level 2 classification, the human in the driver seat must 27 constantly supervise support features including steering, braking, or accelerating as needed to maintain 28 safety. If the FullSelfDriving Capability software malfunctioned, P-1 should of manually taken control of 29 V-1 by over-riding the FullSelf Driving Capability feature.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now The Intercept<\/em> has obtained footage of the accident, and it clearly shows the Tesla vehicle abruptly coming to a stop for no apparent reason:<\/p>\n

I obtained surveillance footage of the self-driving Tesla that abruptly stopped on the Bay Bridge, resulting in an eight-vehicle crash that injured 9 people including a 2 yr old child just hours after Musk announced the self-driving feature.<\/p>\n

This phenomenon is often referred to as \u201cphantom braking,\u201d and it has been known to happen on Tesla Autopilot and FSD Beta.<\/p>\n

Back in November of 2021,\u00a0Electrek\u00a0<\/em>released a report called \u201cTesla has a serious phantom braking problem in Autopilot<\/a>.\u201d It highlighted a significant increase in Tesla owners reporting dangerous phantom braking events on Autopilot.<\/p>\n

This issue was not new in Tesla\u2019s Autopilot, but our report focused on Tesla drivers noticing an obvious increase in instances based on anecdotal evidence, but it was also backed by a clear increase in complaints to the NHTSA. Our report made the rounds in a few other outlets, but the issue didn\u2019t really go mainstream until\u00a0The Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0released a similar report in February 2022<\/a>. A few months later,\u00a0NHTSA opened an investigation into the matter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
