Whew...that was close!

It seems like the regulators need to step in and stop this human driving thing and mandate only FSD driving, because I'm pretty sure that oncoming car wasn't on FSD. I wonder if there will be an investigation, LOL!

Your post made me wonder about this scenario -- what if the oncoming vehicles were also using FSD? Would they somehow be able to communicate / signal to each other which way to swerve, or would they possible independently swerve in the same direction and still hit each other head-on. :unsure:

Amazing technology. Lives were saved.

Some questions come to mind. Did the driver notice? Did he try to intervene? If I saw this coming, I can't say I wouldn't put my hands on the wheel.

The X thread has some naysayers blaming the driver for not taking over, but at night it's very hard to gauge position and speed. The driver may have not had time to react once the danger became obvious.

Definitely a Chevy pickup, would not have gone well for either party but I'd rather take my chances in the Cybertruck.

Blaming the CT driver is dumb, because the other driver was trying to overtake the semi and obviously thought the way was clear. And instead of hard braking to get back behind the semi, he thought he had room to punch it and move over in time.

So it was him that was in the wrong lane yes?
The big question is who put him there. Him or FSD?

It looks to me like it's a single lane in each direction. The Cybertruck was almost hit by someone trying to pass in the oncoming lane.

At 75 mph each, that's 150 mph closing speed. NOBODY, is looking far enough down the road to see that coming with any meaningful perception and reaction time to spare. Even FSD was pretty dang late to react.
