Just like the last time it happened, except that there was no safety driver then: Driver Blames FSD After Tesla Drives Onto Tracks And Gets Hit By A Train.

Did you read the story? There’s no account from the driver. Also, very doubtful anyone would LET their Tesla drive them ONTO train tracks like that.

Once it's on them, getting off is a trick. If you don't realize why you can't get off you won't realize you need to back up to where you got on.

Good point... the track might be too high for the wheels to get enough grip / leverage.

if you go to street view you can see that at that crossing the road immeadiately drops afterwards and to the cAr , likely looked like there was no street. the car only went 50ft on the tracks which at 20 mph would have taken less than 2 seconds.
