How is that different than the active safety features on any other car? E.g. most cars already have an optional package to detect other cars in your blind spots, keep you centered in your lane, etc.
- wtallis 8y agoToyota demonstrated a test where the car determines that it cannot brake in time to avoid hitting an obstacle, so it decides to swerve around it instead. No combination of blind spot warnings and lane keeping assist can come anywhere close to performing such a feat. I'm also not aware of any car currently for sale that will accelerate to avoid being hit from behind. There are quite a few vehicles that have at least some of the sensor capability required for this kind of functionality, but the hard part is the software/AI, not the cameras and LIDAR.

They also preemptively play grey noise over the speakers if the collision is imminent, to protect your eardrums - that's something I don't think any other manufacturer is doing.
