it's absolutely surreal to me that 1) this is allowed to be used on public roads and 2) that Tesla is permitted to call whatever they've invented "self driving" or "autonomous".
There is zero point in defending the incompleteness of this so-called 'safety-critical' contraption. It simply does not work and is simply not ready.
??? I thought that was what it was for. Or maybe for making wacky collision vids on YouTube? Tesla just closed their whole self-driving office in San Mateo, and fired ("for poor performance") most of the staff, directing some to come to work across the bay. For now. People still employed on that activity would best update their résumés. People who paid for self-driving already? I would ask for a refund, in your shoes…

Was the train running a red light? This seems confusing for a human driver, too. I'm usually looking for cars and pedestrians, not trains when turning left.
Did you watch the video? There's absolutely nothing confusing about the tram coming towards the Tesla, whether it has the right-of-way or not. And there's nothing in the video that suggests the tram was running a red light.
There's also a set of green lights in the video that suggests that the tram was absolutely fine to go!
And an autopilot video showing it knew the train was there and still went anyway, despite also thinking that it was two unconnected busses.
IMO it looks to me, from looking at the screen, that it's just not factoring in the fact it's going to accelerate like it is - because it's a train. Even if it was a bus though, Autopilot is cutting that bus up.

I can’t imagine there is a way to get a refund, but if I could I would. 10k on something they won’t even let me beta test because where I live triggers incorrect forward collision warnings too frequently for my driving to be considered good enough. I was skeptical but paid up front, and I’m pretty sure I got taken

Trams usually have the right-of-way. If not by the law of the land then at the very least by the laws of physics.
