It does slow down and stop, but not in time—it comes to a stop before hitting a second vehicle directly in front of the first.
The video says it doesn't have room to stop before hitting the first vehicle.

- marschr 8y agoLooking at the Tesla's suspension, it looks like it gradually applied the brakes.. The accel forces would be way stronger if the car punched the brakes. Btw, it's probably designed to respond to a confidence level curve and apply the brakes accordingly. Not to mention that, if the dummy car is NOT made out of metal (or at least contain some), the ~70GHz radar would have trouble detecting it.
