That's already been release since the previous version via the traffic aware cruise control and emergency braking.
Specifically, the Model S locks onto the car in front of you and matches its speed, maintaining a certain number of car lengths behind it (which you can set). When the car changes lanes, your Model S speeds up a bit to fill the gap, and when a car cuts into the lane, the Model S slows down (although this one is a bit scary). If the car in front comes to a complete stop, the Model S also smoothly slows down into a complete stop.
- anxman 11y agoThis is correct. My Model S will fully come to a complete stop on the highway and will alert me if I'm approaching a vehicle too quickly and it senses a risk of collision. I've had the car save me from an accident at least once by applying the brake for me.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoNice, and it works without the need for cruise control to be on, and at all speeds?
- anxman 11y agoEmergency braking is active with or without the cruise control.
- Zhenya 11y agoThis is also available in a lot of pedestrians cars such as Accords and Chrysler 200.
- jbuzbee 11y agoMy wife's 2015 Mazda 3 has this feature as well although for some reason, it doesn't come to a complete stop. When needing to completely stop due to a car in front, it drops down to 2-3 MPH then beeps to let you know you're on your own for the last bit.
