Very, very interesting. Yeah, I’m so surprised at myself for having done it, but it raises the question what would cause me to do it in the first place. Intriguing point.
I think many of us have done / do it. I used to be more impatient with my truck and would gently 'encourage' it to move forward when it lingered overly long at a stop. Then, one day I was a stop sign waiting to turn left onto a cross street with no apparent traffic. The cross street was heavily lined with bushes. The truck wasn't moving forward and even leaning forward, I didn't see anything coming. So I goosed it - and there was a bicyclist flying down the shoulder of the cross street (hidden from me by the bushes).
A good lesson for us all. Thanks for sharing, even if painful, it makes us all better. Kudos.[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.
Fred Lambert was probably wetting himself with glee at reading this thread at the start. He’s become useless.
I have a bad habit of leaving stops with accelerator pressed, too, to overrule the stupid 2 second NHTSA stop. But I’ve had a few close calls with the left A-pillar blind spot, with people moving across in sync with the blind spot, so I’m trying to just give it a blip to overrule the NHTSA, and then let FSD properly determine based on what it’s seeing.
I wouldn't say it's fixed. It's been improved, for sure, but my 14.2.2.4 Cybertruck still deviates from nav (sometimes for good, sometimes for bad), but not nearly as frequently (or as badly) as my 14.2.2.3 Model Y. The past couple months' updates have been a really interesting collection of improvements and regressions. IMHO
I share your feelings about the rolling stop. But Tesla COULD achieve a reasonable middle ground by having FSD wait a bit longer to make the final deceleration from 5mph to 0, reducing that excruciatingly LOOONGGGG slow-down BEFORE it comes to a complete stop. The full stop is a minor nuisance; the 5-minute-long (seemingly) wait for the stop to actually happen is truly aggravating.
I find myself "pushing" FSD, frequently, through turns, following stop signs. BUT, I've learned to check first, to be sure FSD isn't hesitating for a reason. I've learned (the hard way) that FSD is FREQUENTLY aware of things that I am not, and almost always handles those things appropriately. The NHTSA full stop BS has created a system that provokes drivers (both in the FSD vehicle, and in other vehicles interacting with it) into habitual "pushing" that can sometimes be dangerous - such as in the OPs case.
No, the impatient human driver is.
One human and one possum owe their life to FSD 14 on my truck. I saw neither one until after FSD had already reacted.
