White Box AutonomyTesla FSD dangerously tried to overtake
Summary
FSD 14.3.5, Australia, Hurry mode, on a two-way 100 km/h highway, today. My friend Troy was following a car doing ~85 km/h when FSD accelerated toward 100 and initiated an overtake, despite not having a clear view far enough down the oncoming lane. Then an oncoming car appeared. Troy immediately braked and disengaged. At those speeds, there was very little margin for error.
