We took a self-driving car on the road for 100 days to see how it handled itself – these are the mistakes it kept making

An independent team tested Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system over 100 days on Queensland roads, documenting over 500 safety-critical incidents where the system required driver intervention or showed limitations. While acknowledging the technology's advanced capabilities, the report highlights persistent challenges, including confusion with road markings, time-restricted speed limits, railway crossings, and complex traffic scenarios like zipper merges. Specific examples include the vehicle hesitating over a small bridge, misinterpreting school zone limits during off-hours, and failing to recognize e-scooters as distinct from pedestrians. These findings underscore ongoing gaps between current autonomous driving systems and real-world driving conditions.

Bias read (Center): While the article discusses the technical performance of autonomous driving systems, which has implications for regulation and public safety, it does not take a clear ideological stance. The reporting remains balanced, presenting both the capabilities and limitations of the technology without overt褒
