A Tesla Model 3 was reportedly hit by a train after it got stuck on the railroad tracks while in FSD or Full Self-Driving mode, according to Electrek. The driver was able to escape the car, which suffered minor damage. The incident comes as Tesla promotes its upcoming Robotaxi rollout, with Elon Musk asserting vehicles could soon drive from the factory to customers autonomously. The incident occurred as Tesla gears up for its highly anticipated Robotaxi launch in Austin. Critics such as Gerber Kawasaki CEO Ross Gerber have expressed concerns that Tesla's self-driving technology still requires significant improvement. Tesla gained approval as an AV operator in Austin, where Musk plans to launch the Robotaxi service. The CEO cited regulatory support and safety exemptions from the NHTSA as key advantages over other cities.
