Tesla FSD v14 swerved and try to drive me into a ditch for no reason

This is car news, not a home-energy story, but worth a quick note since it involves an EV. A Tesla driver in Quebec reported that his car, running the latest Full Self-Driving (FSD) software (version 14.3.6) on a highway at 68 mph, suddenly signaled and swerved toward an exit ramp it had already passed, heading for the shoulder and a ditch before he grabbed the wheel and took over. Conditions were ideal for the system: clear night, dry road, no traffic, good lane markings.

The driver, who writes for the outlet Electrek, said this happened despite thousands of miles of smooth FSD driving beforehand, and argued that the system's very reliability makes drivers less alert, so failures catch them off guard. He pointed to Tesla's own safety filings showing a record number of crashes involving its driver-assist systems in a recent month, even as the company has said full removal of human supervision is coming soon.

For homeowners, this doesn't affect rebates, upgrades, or your electric bill. It's simply a reminder, if you or someone in your household drives a Tesla with FSD, that the software still requires full attention at the wheel, even on easy roads, regardless of how well it has performed before.
