Impressive especially with another car in front of it.

Yes. The video shows self driving never disengaged

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 00:39

Wasn’t my car but yes it did that on its own. FSD saw the car on the wrong side of the road, singled and moved over on its own. Then got back over the once it passed. Amazing.

The headline should be Toyota Camry Avoids Head On Collision.

Corey415 2026-02-28 01:24

Damn that was a close one for the Toyota in front of you.

Desperate-Review-727 2026-02-28 01:36

Tesla reacted faster than the car in front of you and turned away from the threat while the other car turned towards it lol

D1TAC 2026-02-28 01:54

That toyota shit their pants

FLawless______ 2026-02-28 01:59

It’s a compelling reason to shit yourself

StrikingComputer2705 2026-02-28 01:59

The Camry almost died dude

Low_Site_5877 2026-02-28 02:00

Is the head-on collision in the room with us?

Worth-Reputation3450 2026-02-28 02:11

I think camry saw it directly coming to itself and its right lane was blocked by the truck so it tried to swerve into the opposite lane to avoid the head on collision.

denisb1988 2026-02-28 02:19

Toyota swirved left too....good on your tesla though.

Tschib-Tschab 2026-02-28 02:33

Was my first thought too, however you can also see that it slowed down from 69 to 49 mph quite quickly and in the bottom left it shows the brake isn’t applied by the driver it seems. Self Driving didn’t disengage either. So there is a good chance it did actually react to the oncoming car.

PugMaster007 2026-02-28 02:33

FSD to the rescue. It’s things like this, with another car in front of you that you might never see till it’s too late!

ElectronicAide87 2026-02-28 02:39

The Y didn’t avoid a head on collision. It moved to the right, but the Toyota would have been hit head on, not your Tesla.

leexgx 2026-02-28 02:59

It dropped 20 and changed lanes automatically

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 03:19

Exactly! It’s more impressive that FSD saw the on coming car even though it was blocked by the Toyota.

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 03:21

Yeah the guy in the Toyota must have crapped his pants. He swerved left first then back right. He must have been a foot or two from a collision.

ElectronicAide87 2026-02-28 03:23

Show me where dropping 20 and changing lanes equals avoiding a head on collision in the video. The car swerved back onto their side to avoid hitting the Toyota.

dantodd 2026-02-28 03:29

FSD saw and reacted in time and appropriately to the threat. People can buy pick whether it "avoided" a head on collision or not; but had the other car crashed into the Toyota the Tesla would have already been in the right lane, out of the way.

[deleted] 2026-02-28 03:32

People downplaying the accident avoidance here are bizarre. I mean maybe “head on collision” isn’t the right phrase but that was pretty solid accident avoidance. What a train wreck series of events by both cars there.

fakenews_thankme 2026-02-28 04:07

Avoids or almost causes?

Educational-Hawk4691 2026-02-28 04:08

Jesus christ. I shit my pants just watching.

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 04:44

Not sure why people are so bugged by the title of this post. FSD observed a potential head on collision whether the Toyota was hit first or the Tesla everyone involved probably would be dead. Not sure if a human would have saw the other vehicle crossing over the center divider and reacted in time.

Civil-Village1864 2026-02-28 04:51

"How can I make this about me"

methehoneybee 2026-02-28 05:20

Crazy impressive. I love FSD

Briareos_Hecatonhrs 2026-02-28 06:20

Camry driver: I paid my road tax at the distributor and by God I intend to use all of it

Ozone510 2026-02-28 06:24

Anyone with eyes could've avoided this from where you were. Y'all really be impressed by this?

SP3NGL3R 2026-02-28 06:28

I didn't think the Tesla saw that coming. I think it simply changed lanes behind a slower driver. Period. Why? Because I don't see it slowing down at all. Just preparing to go around.

PapaEchoLincoln 2026-02-28 07:29

Wt af was that SUV driver doing??

Clubsoda99 2026-02-28 09:36

FSD move to the right and slow down like that, so not a chance FSD is letting the car behind pass. At least never happened to me.

Ok-Lobster-919 2026-02-28 09:41

But it automatically switched back into the left lane and sped back up.

The8Darkness 2026-02-28 10:38

I had to watch the video twice to even see the car coming. No way I would have noticed during regular driving especially if it was already a longer drive.

-eccentric- 2026-02-28 12:06

Because it noticed the trucks existence.

Freewheeler631 2026-02-28 14:16

They’re all non-Tesla owners, or people who have never tried FSD. That was not only a solid reaction, but a smooth one. I find mine to be far, far smoother adjusting to pretty much anything. It’s like it’s gone from being a teenager in Driver’s Ed class a few years ago to a much more competent driver.

Upper-Coconut-5305 2026-02-28 14:21

I can’t open your eyes more buddy, look at the instant change in speed the brakes were hit automatically

RoyalVirgin 2026-02-28 15:10

Sure. Maybe you watching this video ten times on repeat yeah. But if you are on the highway going straight for two hours long I doubt half the drivers would have anticipated it and gotten ahead of it and shifted to the right lane instantly (and checking their right mirror ensuring it's actually safe to do so)

[deleted] 2026-02-28 15:22

I’m not a Tesla owner and have done one test drive in a Y with FSD. Technology like this is game changing for safety. You don’t have to drive very long on a highway to see the first person looking at TikTok videos with one hand on the wheel not paying attention. That person would likely have been in an accident here. It’s possible that’s what set this chain of events off. I want this technology to succeed if for not other reason than it’s safer for everyone. I mean I pretty much gave up cycling on any streets because of close calls and friends who have been hit because people are oblivious. It’s needed.

stanley_fatmax 2026-02-28 16:14

I don't think so, the behavior seen in the clip is not something FSD normally does at all. I've used it for over 5000 miles now and have never seen it react that way to the situation you describe

s4lty-f0x 2026-02-28 16:23

More like model y reacts to Camry reaction

qpiqp 2026-02-28 17:18

It scrubs off 20mph when it switched lanes (70 mph to 50 mph). This looks like accident avoidance to me. The turn signal doesn’t come on until after the car started changing lanes, which is not typical FSD behavior.

mikecjs 2026-02-28 17:28

Toyota Model Y?

Argyrus777 2026-02-28 18:33

Normal drivers would probably brake while FSD went to the other lane to get out of the trajectory of the potential crash

Ok_Mountain_3166 2026-02-28 19:11

FSD avoided the head on collision (about to happen directly in front of it) The Y reacted 3 seconds faster than the human driver 3 car lengths ahead in immediate danger.

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 19:56

Exactly! Computers are not distracting or get fatigued.

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 19:57

He looked like he was playing chicken with the other car. Either that or he swerved the wrong way and changed his mind at the last second. I would love to see a dash cam from his car if her had one.

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 20:00

Either way it was in a good position if there was a crash. It would have been safe in the right lane.

Substantial_Chain718 2026-02-28 20:01

Great point! If there was a crash and it braked it would have been hit. Predicting a crash it moved to the right lane and would have been safe if the cars crashed.

RoyalVirgin 2026-02-28 20:10

& have a constant awareness of their blind spots / all angels on the car.

joeyat 2026-02-28 20:36

If you don’t pay for FSD, would the car let the accident happen? Interesting flip on the trolly problem…

Slow-Beginning-5885 2026-02-28 21:16

Thats a camry!

Substantial_Chain718 2026-03-01 00:25

Even if you don’t have FSD on the car would let an accident happen. I have only had emergency breaking kick in 3 or 4 times in 6 years of driving Teslas.

joeyat 2026-03-01 00:29

Basic AutoPilot uses one of the older models, which probably doesn't have some of the more complex accident predictions... but the latest FSD models are still running on all the cars in shadow mode.. so FSD might detect it, but not able to act. Interesting one!

5Beans6 2026-03-01 16:31

Camry drove the rest of the way with the music off

Broozer98 2026-03-03 14:41

I would have 100% shit my pants or sweating buckets if I was driving the Camry😭
