STOP

 

Washington, Connecticut

The Tesla came to a full stop at the sign, so it must not have been in self-drive mode.

Carl, can I assume that you are out and about again? I'be so glad for you!

Re. the Tesla: I assume it was on autopilot as it came to a full stop - at least in Germany self-appointed racing drivers tend to be quite liberal with such signage on minor roads...

Markus,

No that's from December. Plus my car battery is drained too low to start, waiting for a jump starter gadget to arrive on Thursday. At least I felt well enough this afternoon to *try* to go see if there were ice pictures to be made at Hidden Valley.

There's been a scandal recently that Tesla's self-driving program included several speeds of "rolling stop" and that one of them is actually the default. Scrambling for software fixes and embarrassment all around.
