“I don’t think people could hold there more than five minutes in this water, especially with clothes on,” he added. It was very good luck this floating sauna was nearby.”

The sauna boat happened to drift by soon after the Tesla ended up in the water, Oslo police said.

Photos show people on the vessel with towels around their waists pulling the passengers out of the water.

“One of the guests came running and told me a car had landed in the water. I accelerated to full speed in the direction of the people,” the sauna boat’s skipper, Nicholay Nordahl, told Norwegian newspaper VG.

“With the help of two guests, we pulled them up. They were able to warm up in the sauna,” he added.

The cars don’t have radar anymore, I don’t think they got rid of it for vision cars?

Even with vision it doesn’t look like a wall or other large object is there to set off the sensor. This probably looks like a speed bump to the camera.

For parking, the vision cars remember what they approached. People say it doesn’t work as good as ultra sonics, but assuming it doesn’t see it as a speed bump vs an object in the way, that should still be okay, at least in theory.

I think the problem here is if you program it to stop when it sees a rail like that, odds are a lot of vehicles might stop themselves on roads and parking lots if they see anything that looks somewhat similar.

Also, if it doesn’t view it as an object, Tesla should go test some cars against that to help improve it. Test them right there even, it’ll cost them so much money for every failure they’ll get it right sooner than later lol.
