A Tesla driver ended up in the middle of an active train track after Autopilot mistook it for a road, leading to a warning from Woodland Police Department in California to stay vigilant while using the feature.
Drivers are reminded to stay alert, keep hands on the wheel, and regularly check surroundings in self-driving mode, emphasizing that Autopilot is not a substitute for attentive driving.
This incident marks the second recent event where Autopilot directed a Tesla towards train tracks, raising concerns about reliance on the technology and the need for driver oversight.
Another reported incident in May almost resulted in a freight train crash, underlining the risks of complacency with Autopilot's capabilities as a driver-assistance system.
