A Tesla owner shared a moment where FSD recognized that a person was about to cross over a roadside railing and reacted before the pedestrian entered the roadway. The system slowed proactively, showing how Tesla’s perception stack can interpret human intent not just visible movement.
Anticipating a pedestrian’s next action, rather than simply reacting after they step into the road, can improve safety in unpredictable real-world situations.
My Tesla noticed the pedestrian was about to cross… while I was still wondering if they were just enjoying the view.
