Tesla enthusiast Troy Teslike highlighted issues with vision-only FSD, including difficulty with night-time road markings.

Jonathan Challinger, a software developer from Florida, had an incident with his Tesla Cybertruck which was running the Full Self-Driving software v13.2.4. The crash occurred as the vehicle failed to merge from an ending lane and subsequently hit a pole. Challinger accepted blame for not monitoring the vehicle more closely, although he praised Tesla's safety, which allowed him to escape without harm. Despite his personal accountability, he raised concerns about the responsiveness of Tesla's service centers.

Troy Teslike, a Tesla fan, pointed out several issues with the current FSD software using vision-only technology. He noted that the software struggles with night-time visibility and does not always accurately map road markings and solid objects.

Elon Musk had announced unsupervised FSD plans for select states, but the crash challenges the readiness of such features. Tesla’s manual emphasizes driver attentiveness, with escalating warnings if the system is ignored. The incident emphasizes potential updates and improvements needed in the system.
