The Tesla, during full self drive ran a red light. The left turn signal changed to green, but the other lights remained red. The Tesla proceeded to go through the intersection.
On October 26, 2026, Tesla FSD Supervised entered an active school zone (20 mph, flashing yellow lights) at ~54 mph and did not slow. I disengaged and braked manually. The same trip, FSD could not position the vehicle in the school car-rider line, forcing another full manual takeover.Failed system: FSD Supervised speed control and path planning. Vehicle/software available for inspection.Safety risk: More than double the posted school-zone speed with flashing lights endangered children, crossing guards, and other road users. Manual intervention was also required in a congested pickup area.Reproduction: Matches public reports and NHTSA defect petition DP26010. Not yet inspected by Tesla, police, or insurance.Warnings: None. No lights, messages, or alerts before the failures.Assessment: FSD does not reliably detect or honor active school zones or common pickup-line geometry. The streak system penalizes these necessary interventions, so the only practical way to maintain a long streak is to avoid real-world driving (school zones, local roads, parent drop-off) and stick to interstate miles—the opposite of the “handles everyday driving” claim. This design forces parents to choose between safety and the score.
