Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has shared a video on X showing a Tesla vehicle narrowly avoiding a head-on collision, crediting the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system for the quick response.

The video, originally posted by an X user named Clifford, shows his Tesla avoiding an oncoming vehicle at 75 mph while driving through New Mexico.

“FSD saves lives. It happened to me tonight,” Clifford wrote, adding that he was returning from the Tesla Shareholders’ Meeting when the accident was averted.

“Just a broken mirror, busted window, and a bit of a shaken mind. Thank you Elon, thank you Tesla, thank you Cybertruck,” he said.

Musk reshared the post with a heart emoji, drawing widespread reactions from users. 

Meanwhile, social media users reacted to the video and shared their thoughts in the comment section.

“Thinking of buying a Tesla because of FSD,” one user commented.

While another wrote, “Close one… Glad you made it out relatively unscathed.”

According to Tesla, the FSD (Full Self-Driving, Supervised) feature uses billions of miles of real-world driving data to handle most aspects of driving under active supervision. 

The feature is currently available in the U.S., Canada, China, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia and New Zealand.
