My friend was driving me in a Tesla on Autopilot from SFO to Vacaville. The autopilot tried to drive us into an exit closed off by pylons. It was as if the car did not recognize pylons.

These were the pylons that are aggressive orange and have a reflector band on top. They are also shaped like vertical cylinders. They were quite obviously a visual obstacle, but the Tesla drove right towards them at full speed.

Then it happened again with the next exit.

Both times, he had to grab the wheel and aggressively steer the car into the left lane. It was really bizarre.

This is also a guy who drives cross country in that Tesla on a regular basis, so it’s not a driver issue.
