#2I thought the title meant the software crashed, but it was the car that crashed: "They didn’t make it out of California without crashing into easily avoidable road debris that badly damaged the Tesla Model Y ... In the video, you can see that the driver doesn’t have his hands on the steering wheel. The passenger spots the debris way ahead of time. There was plenty of time to react, but the driver didn’t get his hands on the steering wheel until the last second."

#3> Tesla’s EV business is in decline and the stock price depends entirely on the self-driving and robot promises
I don't think that's right; I think the stock price entirely depends on people seeing it a vehicle to invest in Musk. If Musk died tomorrow, but nothing else changed at Tesla, the stock price would crater.

#4It's so clear, dry, perfect lighting, no traffic or anything. That's shocking.

#5Two more years guys, just give him two more years, a few more billion, a bit more political power and I promise he'll give you your fancy self driving toy. (Repeat from 2012 ad infinitum)

The debris is pretty close to the color of the road. Seems like a good case for radar/lidar ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#8I use Tesla FSD 99% of the time. I recently drove from Austin to Florida and back.
The only time I had to take over was for road debris on the highway. Off the highway it’s very good about avoiding it. My guess is Tesla has not been focusing on this issue as it's not needed for robotaxi for phase one.

#10It’s an accident that could also happen to an inattentive human driver. (Ask me how I know :( )
But, if you watch the car’s display panel, it looks as if the car didn’t see anything and just went full speed ahead. That’s not great.
It should have slowed down and alerted the driver that something was there. I didn’t watch the complete video so maybe there’s more.
