A Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) Model 3 was reportedly hit by a train after it got stuck on the railroad tracks while in FSD or Full Self-Driving mode.
What Happened: The driver, who was able to escape the car before it was hit by a train, said that the Tesla was in "self-driving mode", Electrek reported on Monday.
The vehicle sustained minor damages, with the left mirror reportedly snapping off following the incident. Emergency services temporarily halted all rail operations to clear the vehicle with a crane, the report suggests.
Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment.
However, critics have raised concerns about the technology, with Gerber Kawasaki's CEO and Co-Founder, Ross Gerber, saying the technology needs a lot of work.
Elsewhere, CEO Elon Musk's Cybercab ambitions also got a major boost as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, announced a series of updates to regulations, making Autonomous vehicles exempt from some safety standards.
