Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road (futurism.com)

In the piece — titled "Can You Fool a Self Driving Car?" — Rober found that a Tesla car on Autopilot was fooled by a Wile E. Coyote-style wall painted to look like the road ahead of it, with the electric vehicle plowing right through it instead of stopping.

The footage was damning enough, with slow-motion clips showing the car not only crashing through the styrofoam wall but also a mannequin of a child. The Tesla was also fooled by simulated rain and fog.

Did he enable the autopilot? When? What his inputs to the car were? Is if fsd? What car is that?

You can make every car hit a wall, that is the obvious part, but by claiming (truthfully, I have no doubt) that the car hit it on its own I would like to know what made it do it.

He said after the first of the 5 tests that every tesla test has autopilot on because some features are only enabled then

You didn't watch the video did you? He address that after the first test and said all further test will be done with self driving on.
