It doesn't matter if he was following another car or not. If there is an obstacle, AP2 should brake and in that case it should brake hard or use evasive turning

It doesn't matter if he was following another car or not. If there is an obstacle, AP2 should brake and in that case it should brake hard or use evasive turning maneuvers to avoid head-on collision.
- MBCook 8y agoThat’s the thing, it clearly didn’t detect the obstacle. Given that there were no (known) obstacles, it behaved correctly. Fix the obstacle detection.
- fixermark 8y agoThe problem is it's entirely possible the obstacle detection is un-fixable without swapping out the sensor suite the Tesla ships with. Tesla is quite clearly expecting the problem to be solvable with that sensor suite alone (this is more-or-less the line I was given by a Tesla seller when I was shopping for a car), so it's not going to be in the T-sheet for them to recall every Tesla on the road to fit a LIDAR to them, assuming that's at all feasible.
