CajunCybertruck

Best vehicle I’ve ever driven and it’s not even close…

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.

I went to the exact same location of the Cybertruck accident shown in the Fox News video. This is the US-69/59 Eastex Freeway northbound HOV lane at the Y-split near the Eastex Park & Ride exit (approaching from downtown Houston toward Humble). In the Fox News video, the vehicle failed to follow the right curve, going straight into the barrier. Well, I tested it twice today with Tesla FSD engaged the entire time with zero human intervention. And unless you think I am a hologram speaking to you from another dimension now, it worked out really well. Here is the video of me taking the exact same curve twice, with Tesla FSD v14.2.2.5.

Here’s when the driver disengaged. There was time to stop and turn, especially with the Cybertruck’s steer by wire and four wheel steering. Tesla haters like Fred always try to blame Tesla, even when the human was driving manually. 0 journalistic integrity.

Dan O'Dowd falsely claimed a Cybertruck "on FSD" tried to drive "straight off an overpass"... but the crash was actually caused by Humanpilot crashing it the old-fashioned way: speeding towards a sharp curve in a 15 mph zone and losing control!

Found a quiet, clean and safe spot to camp in Arkansas for tonight. More details tomorrow for those interested. For now, it’s dinner time.

The driver disengaged FSD 4 seconds before impact — the rest was 100% manual driving. So the entire clip was manual driving! I did the math: the driver could have stopped in time from the first frame of the video. Here’s how I reached that conclusion. Debate if you have thoughts. 1. In the very first frame, the truck was 510–560 feet from the concrete barrier. I estimated this frame by frame using the vehicle’s speed on US-69/59 Eastex Freeway and local map data. 2. Speed was a steady ~60 mph. Over the ~6-second clip, distance to impact was estimated using the Cybertruck’s size and how quickly it approached frame by frame. It took ~4 seconds to reach the barrier from the first frame. 3. Cybertruck braking is strong — real-world tests (MotorTrend) show it stops from 60 mph in 126 feet (~176–187 ft from 70 mph per Car and Driver). At 60–65 mph, it needs only ~130–160 feet to stop fully. With ~510 feet available when the driver disengaged, it could have stopped easily, even for a poor driver. 4. Physics did the rest: at that distance and speed, the driver simply ran out of room and panicked. Again, not FSD. All human manual driving error. The Cybertruck could have braked in time based on distance and speed.
