Tesla's latest full self-driving update, FSD version 10.10, has been recorded making severe driving errors. Tesla has been charting a somewhat perilous course with its semi-autonomous vehicle software, with live testing on public roads, so far managing to keep the program running despite some rumblings from government regulatory agencies. A recent video gives a small taste of how dangerous this can be.
Tesla's FSD software is offered as a one-time purchase, currently priced at $12,000, or as a subscription for $199 each month. Unfortunately, not every FSD customer or subscriber gets to use these advanced self-driving features. Tesla calculates a safety score based on driving metrics from the recent past. If the score indicates that the driver isn't paying close enough attention to the road or is driving too aggressively, FSD use will not be allowed despite paying for this feature. Even after qualifying and using FSD, it can be taken away if the driver's safety scores fall.

It was a minor collision that barely left a mark on the bumper and caused no damage to the post. However, it could have been much worse if the human driver's reflexes had been slower.
