? The article makes it clear the car was in FSD mode, but he passed out and was pressing the accelerator pedal
Pressing the accelerator takes you out of FSD mode.
No, pressing the brake does. The accelerator overrides the speed that the software has chosen but only for the duration the accelerator is pressed. FSD is still engaged.
You can’t say FSD is active when you’re literally controlling the accelerator by pressing it to the floor.
What the fuck?
