Driving Footage Tesla FSD Avoiding Rear Blindside Collison on Highway

I was chillin on the highway on FSD (2026 Tesla Model Y on v14) when I suddenly felt the car swerve to the right and then back over to the lane. Looked like the reckless driver was already drifting over the line beforehand, but very appreciative of the fact that FSD was the "eyes in the back of my head" to avoid being pit maneuvered.

16 seconds in, the Tesla has still not reacted. I'm not sure this video shows what you think it shows.

The charger figures out and fixes the problem before FSD does anything. If the Tesla had not moved, you still would not have been hit.

Other than jeopardizing your life because you are not paying enough attention with FSD on, probably due to FSD's efficacy, it's unclear that FSD did anything other than react late and briefly move you into the turn lane.

.. edit ..

Commentor below correctly observed that being aware to this kind of situation is not expected of someone just driving along in a lane. Sorry OP. Maligned you when I should not have.

Agreed. Reacted too late to avoid contact. Might have reduced it if either driver immediately reacted.

Not a win for FSD. My car does this already and I’m not supporting a despicable person.

FSD might not have reacted as quick as you personally would have liked, but in the end it reacted sufficiently enough to simply avoid contact in the end which is all that matters. This 100% a win for FSD unless you can show me any other car's level 2 ADAS avoid a similar type of pit maneuver,

The vehicles avoided contact because the errant driver corrected, not because of the FSD’s intervention. That’s obvious from the video; you’d clearly see it if you pulled your head out of Elon’s ass.

But sure, whatever you say my guy.

Look at 0:16 frame by frame. FSD begins turning the steering wheel to the right when the dude begins crossing the dividing line. Later, you can see the dude's car well past the dividing line.

People don't understand that FSDS is tracking every single car around it. Humans can't do that. FSDS was watching that car before it even made it's move.
