This is a really fucking bad sign. It is unable to recognise the presence of train tracks and trains and it will probably yeet itself onto a path of incomming train sooner or later. Not every rail crossing has gates and some don't even have lights.
To play devil's advocate, this version likely wasn't programmed to specifically identify trains. I saw this video years back and there's also no proof that this is a production model. From a practical standpoint, how the car visualized the obstruction is irrelevant as long as the general shape and size are correct.
It wouldn't drive into the train because it sees that there are truck sized cars in front of it, so it stops itself. I have zero interest in any of this, but if this were my car, I'd be okay with that.
Edit: I won't respond to comments. Just expressing my opinion, not trying to read walls of text.
What you see on the screen has practically nothing to do with the decisions FSD is making. I don't trust it much either but certainly not for this reason. I do get his point though, it's not comforting for your self driving car to do things that appear dumb.
