User reports FSD slowed before he saw pedestrian crossing
Unconfirmed: A forum user posted a video in which, according to his description, FSD began reducing speed when it detected a pedestrian crossing with only a small part of her head visible. The author says he had not seen the woman before the car did and that she did not activate the crosswalk lights. The post does not specify software version, model, or date. The claim rests solely on the author's reading of the clip, with no telemetry data published.
- According to the author, FSD slowed with only part of the pedestrian's head visible
- The pedestrian crossed without activating the crosswalk lights, per the post
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla. The author claims FSD reduced speed before he identified the pedestrian, who had only part of her head visible, at a crossing without activated lights.
📈 Upside: According to the account, the car began braking before the driver perceived the pedestrian.
📉 Risk: A single isolated case does not allow measuring the detection rate or comparing it with unnecessary braking events.
