A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says His Truck Cut Off a Police Officer On The Highway – Adds, “I Told the Cop The Cybertruck Was Driving Itself, but He Still Gave Me a Ticket”

But if you're thick enough to trust FSD, you're begging for a mishap of some design. This bloke got lucky, that's all.

Of course the scumbag tries to weasel out of it by claiming he wasn't driving, as if that makes any bit of difference legally. Dude just wants to drive his 7000 lb electric brodozer like he's the most important person on the road and be able to do it with impunity.

But,but,but officer! The car did it!!! Never should this ever be accepted as an excuse. Kudos to the officer for doing his job.

Autonomous vehicles should be banned. Better yet, they never should have been allowed to be produced. Furthermore, EVERY VEHICLE that has autonomous driving states right in the manual that the operator is supposed to still maintain control of the vehicle and be aware of their surroundings while operating in said mode. If you, as driver, are too lazy to drive your own vehicle, STAY OFF THE ROADS!

I hope the son of a bitch loses his license.

Are all cybertruck buyers this lame?

How about actually driving the truck?

FSD sounds like a bunch of swear words describing these people.

When you are behind the wheel you are responsible. If I had been the cop I would have added distracted driving to the ticket.

One of the biggest problems I have had using FSD on my Tesla is it's inconsistency and it's unpredictability. It's more stressful to use FSD than it is to just drive the car the old fashioned way...

Call it New York driving mode, inconsiderate and speeding defines a New York driver. I should know, I was one.

Why shouldn't You be ticketed? You made the choice to allow your vehicle to drive autonomously, putting others at risk. Without law, there is chaos.
Let's us adults nor whine like children when we face consequences for demonstrating willfull poor judgement.

As a Tesla enthusiast for over a decade and a Cybertruck owner I will state the obvious, "You are responsible for what the vehicle does when you are behind the wheel." Life is tough and it is even tougher when you are stupid. Time for the owner to pay the price for being stupid.

Of course he should get a ticket.

Even if the truck is “driving”, he’s still responsible for how it drives. He’s the one who is letting it “drive” after all.

Hi,

It is just not Cybertrucks, it's FSD in general. It is 💯 true. If you use hurry mode on the highway, it will be aggressive in lane changing. It does not do it in normal mode. Same with staying in left lane as well. Keep it in hurry mode it will do aggressive lane changes and stay in left lane in highway, switch to normal it will not hang out in left lane or do aggressive lane changes.

Doesn't matter, he st the speed, he's behind the wheel, it's his car, FAFO

I don't know what the laws are in Texas, but I do know that it won't move back into the lane unless there's adequate room. The driver should save the video. In my state, it's legal to do so if it's not creating a hazard. If the police officer didn't have to brake suddenly or take evasive action, it's legal where I live. It's up to the vehicle following to reestablish a safe following distance.

If vehicles could change lanes only when there's a greater distance, then even if every car on the road is keeping a three second following distance, it would be impossible for a car to move to a slower lane, potentially for hours.

Places like Texas might not have that volume of traffic, and the report makes it sound as if there were only two lanes in that direction, so it's not an area with lots of traffic, but what if there's a traffic jam? Does changing lanes become illegal?

If the car is doing things you would not do, that's a huge problem.

It's like when your wife or kids run a red light at a camera monitored intersection and the ticket arrives in your name. It's your car. You are responsible. Just pay the fine, try to prevent it from happening again, and move on with your life.

If you trust Elon and Tesla, you deserve every ticket you get.
YOU are still responsible.
