More accurately, this shows a FSD beta tester deliberately allowing his vehicle to head into oncoming traffic.

The beta is not just level 2, it is a privileged system of trust to enable learning. A privilege that this user will likely no-longer be afforded.

That being said, I am a FSD beta tester that lives between 2 one-way streets and I can confirm it is laughably bad at one-way streets.

This week, it tried to change lanes into an oncoming reversible lane as if it were a turning lane.

1 block from my house, FSD beta comes to a complete standstill 10 meters before the stop sign, while it waits indefinitely for completely parked cars to clear what it believes is the left lane before turning left.

When the left side of a one-way is clear and cars are parked on the right, it will weave toward the parked cars as if "staying right" makes sense for any reason in this context.

But most annoyingly, it will completely ignore signs like "do not enter" and "no turn on red" not like a bug, but like it doesn't even attempt to read them.

Of course, as a beta tester it is not difficult to prevent it from doing these unsafe things since it's going the actual speeddlimit and I keep my hands on the wheel unlike this presumably former tester.
