We tried to crash FSD
A March 23 test video put Tesla’s latest FSD through urban edge cases in Prague and found it can navigate dense intersections but still hesitates or makes overly conservative stops in ambiguous situations. (youtube.com) The testers underline the same takeaway regulators stress — FSD is an advanced driver-assist tool, not hands‑off autonomy, and human oversight remains essential. (youtube.com)
The clip was posted by YouTube channel robot*irl, which lists roughly 12,000 subscribers and a string of Europe-focused FSD tests on its channel page. (youtube.com) Robot*irl’s Prague footage is part of a series that includes a Cybertruck demo reported to be running FSD 14.1.7 on tight European streets and an earlier test showing a five‑year‑old Model 3 on FSD 12.6.4, illustrating that behaviour can vary by vehicle and software build. (teslanorth.com) U.S. federal regulators have recently broadened an inquiry into Tesla’s FSD after multiple incidents, with the NHTSA expanding its probe of FSD’s handling of poor visibility and edge cases earlier this month. (usnews.com) Industry reporting notes Tesla has filed monthly “Robotaxi” crash reports with NHTSA — 15 incidents had been reported through February 2026 — a dataset observers say is incomplete without disclosed fleet mileage. (electrek.co) Independent follow-ups to viral FSD experiments — including tests inspired by Mark Rober’s painted‑wall clip — have produced mixed results across testers and FSD revisions, prompting media and hobbyist testers to highlight version‑dependent outcomes.
