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

[ActiveArch]

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.

No doubt.

were you able to report it after disengaging? Sometimes when things surprise me I'm not able to do the report quick enough. I wish there was a way to do the voice report later.

When that happens, I'd hit the mic button and say, "bug report: critical intervention, almost hit a pedestrian".

Compared to the standard FSD is normally with pedestrians, very good, this is a fail.

It is interesting that FSD doesn’t always ask you why you disengaged. More often than not, but definitely not always. As an example, FSD thinks that I live in a church parking lot that is close to my house, and I always disengage when it tries to pull into the lot. In this scenario it doesn’t ask why I disengaged 100% of the time.

yeah it doesn't do it close to the destination.

Thanks for posting this. It's a good reminder to stay present. Honestly, over the last month or two, I have been getting too lax. FSD has been driving over 99% of my miles over the last 4000 miles. Before, I was always concerned about pedestrians in busy parking lots and that fear has pretty much gone away. After seeing this...good reminder.

Same experience, I did not get to report it. I shared this video via X with Ashok Alluswamy though. Who knows if he’ll ever see it but I did my due diligence I guess

Literally same experience here and it’s exactly why I shared this. Ty.

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.

I could be wrong, but when I look at my Dashcam footage, the accelerator pedal is never "lit" or showing anything when FSD is driving. It only shows something when I press it.

Therefore, it looks like you might have inadvertently been pushing the accelerator pedal and forcing it to drive forward. BTW, I find myself doing this occasionally when I'm in a hurry and want to nudge the truck to start moving.

Again, other people, please verify your Dashcam shows the same thing!


First Video shows FSD engaged in similar circumstance. Note no indication of accelerator pressed:

Second time manually driving. Note accelerator pedal lit indicating it was pressed:

BTW, please don't take this the wrong way!!! Just trying to be helpful...

Glad you caught it.

Not blaming the girl but overall “in today’s society” WHY CANT PEOPLE CROSS THE STREET AND NOT STARE AT THEIR PHONES FOR 30 seconds???. She did look to see if I car was coming but then stared at her phone as she went across.

also.. get off my lawn lol.

EXCELLENT ANALYSIS AND YOU ARE CORRECT!
OP had his foot on the accelerator during this event!!!

Accelerator not pressed:

then pressed:

Dan, is that you?

Let's not jump to the Dan conclusion. I think it was just a habit and they didn't realize what happened. Let's give @ActiveArch the benefit of the doubt!
