[Update] FSD v14.2.2.4 Almost Hit a Girl Crossing Street (No it didn’t - Don’t rest your foot on accelerator)

[ActiveArch]

[UPDATE!!]
Genuine apologies to everyone, as a couple folks pointed out it clearly shows the accelerator pedal being pushed by me. I am very glad this was brought to my attention as it’s a wake up call to remember so much of driving happens unconsciously, and pushing the accelerator pedal can also become second nature as we become more accustomed to FSD steering for us and us wanting to “just go.” Note to self and huge reminder to not rest your foot on the accelerator .

Clearly my mind was somewhere else and I have no recollection of pressing the accelerator, but the data clearly indicates that I did. I admit this was my mistake and apologies for stirring folks up around this. I am relieved that FSD does seem to be on the right track and it actually seems to have helped STOP the car for the safety of the pedestrian, it’s now clear to me it’s hesitating to GO instead of stop.

Again, my apologies and thank you to those who pointed this out. Big wake up call to pay attention to our often unconscious actions while using FSD. Genuinely surprised and caught off-guard at my own action here, but a bit relieved as well. Important to admit this mistake was on me.

I absolutely love my Cybertruck, in no way do I want to create a negative post, but this was a wake up call for me as I’d honestly been getting a bit lazy lately with the nagging being so much less, looking at my phone and such.

You can see in the video exactly how long the truck was in FSD and when I hit the brakes and turned the wheel left, it was 100% going to cut off this girl and 99% probably going to hit her. Scary moment. See for yourself. Just a heads up to everyone to truly stay alert, especially in the city around crosswalks. Honestly blown away that this happened, my trust in FSD was nearly unbreakable. Caution.

Yikes. Thats not good. Clearly it could see her.

Yeah man, I feel like it's going backwards. Unfortunate.

dang that sucks. That was a major fail for sure.

Thanks for letting us know. I would definitely not have expected that. Still feels weird that people don't look before stepping off a curb.

No excuse for that happening, but try not to lose all hope. It still does a lot of impressive stuff despite this one mess up. But I know trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.

I doubt it would have hit her if you didn't kick FSD off. FSD can stop and change direction extremely quickly at those speeds.

This is a big nothingburger without actual impact (which I doubt would have actually happened).

Since traffic had stopped, I assume the pedestrian-crossing signal gave her the green light.

Don't think it was that bad. Cut off the girl maybe, but more like her walking into the truck than the truck hitting her.

100%, everyone is in their phone, including myself, so I get it. Especially the younger generation like this girl, I don’t blame them. Nonetheless it’s more important than ever to be aware of your surroundings.

Hope is definitely not lost, just re-evaluated. FSD is still an incredible tech from the future, there’s no doubt about it.

Who would get the points?

Maybe you’re right, but I wouldn’t say it’s a big nothingburger. Hesitation and indecision like this can’t be overlooked. It’s an incredibly significant time for FSD considering Teslas recent moves.

It seems to me that it is the majority of people that are 100% focused on their phones and a minority that are paying attention to the world, but that might just be me.

From where I was sitting, it was making a pretty aggressive right turn, in a worst case scenario it felt like the rear right wheel could have caught her if she stumbled or something. It was genuinely pretty alarming.
