Tesla FSD Crash: Driver Said Car Was Driving

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

A 26-year-old Tesla driver from San Francisco was involved in a crash, then stopped and cooperated with police, providing dash cam footage. CHP said the driver stated the vehicle was operating in Full Self-Driving (FSD) autonomous mode at the time.

Tesla's FSD is a driver assistance system, not a fully autonomous system, despite its name. Crashes involving FSD raise questions about how Tesla markets the feature and how drivers understand its limits.

The Anker 737 Power Bank has a 24,000mAh capacity, 140W max output, a smart digital display, and works with phones, laptops and tablets. The Anker Prime Power Bank has a 27,650mAh capacity and 250W max output with app control. This is a personal preference/story. Mostly opinion. The claim that the S26 has a 200 megapixel camera is not verified; current Galaxy Ultra models have 200MP sensors, but a future "S26" is not confirmed. This is a reaction comment.

What the hosts said

CLet's move from cars to the phone in your pocket, because there's a fight about that too.
CA post with a hundred plus likes says wide phones should exist. Galaxy S and iPhone in a wider form factor.
MA wide phone? Like holding a credit card sideways to your ear?
CThe argument is it would be popular. And honestly, I see the use case. More screen for video, easier typing.
MBut no one's made it because phones need to fit in pockets. Wide means weird in jeans.
CYou're the one who complains about portrait mode video. A wide phone might fix that.
MThat's the only argument I'll accept.
CAnd then there's Big Sam, who says every phone does the same thing, except the upcoming Galaxy has a 200 megapixel camera.
MThat part's not confirmed. The S26 doesn't officially exist yet, and the 200MP sensor is from current Ultra models.
CMatilda's fact-checking the Galaxy rumor before Samsung even admits there's a Galaxy rumor.
MSomebody has to. And for the record, the phones all do different things. That's the point of a market.
CMeanwhile, a trader on X posted about the Anker 737 power bank — 24,000 milliamp hours, 140 watt output.
MThat's a brick. A useful brick, but a brick.
CThe Anker Prime goes higher — 27,650 milliamp hours, 250 watts. That'll charge a laptop.
MAt what point do we stop calling these power banks and start calling them portable outlets?
CWhen they can run your coffee maker. The Prime might actually do that.
MNow you have my attention.
CThe listing shows both models with smart displays and app control. Prices in naira, around 190,000.
MFor the right person — a field reporter, someone who works outdoors — that's a serious tool.
CAnd for the rest of us, it's another device to forget to charge. Which brings us to the human who never tasted an iPhone.
M'Me never tasted iPhone before.' That's the post. He went from a Galaxy S7 in 2017 to an S23.
CNine years, two phones. That's either incredible loyalty or incredible luck with batteries.
MI respect the commitment. Most people I know crack a screen every eighteen months.
CThe phrase 'tasted iPhone' is going to stay with me, though. Like it's a fruit.
MIt kind of is, at this point.
CAnd that's the segment. Phones and power bricks, and the never-ending argument about what you actually need.
MComing up later: another look at what Musk's politics means for his businesses.
