Craig Doty II, a Tesla owner, narrowly avoided a collision after his vehicle, in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode, allegedly steered towards an oncoming train.
Nighttime dashcam footage from earlier this month in Ohio captured the harrowing scene: Doty’s Tesla rapidly approaching a train with no apparent deceleration. He insisted his Tesla was in Full Self-Driving mode when it barreled towards the train crossing without slowing down.
This picture does not look like what happens to a car when it is hit by a train
That might explain why the title says “nearly”
Because it didn’t get hit by a train. Driver steer the car away from the passing train and hit a stop light.
“It wasn’t in self driving mode at the time of the accident.”
Probably technically true. He had to steer it away from the train.

It’s what happens when the driver swerves into the crossing arm pole to not hit the train in front of it.
