Watch This Tesla Model 3 Stop Itself to Avoid Horrific Crash
- ibash 8y agoThe speed at which people decided to ignore and drive around the accident was also interesting.
- madengr 8y agoWhat if the car were heading directly for the side of the Tesla? Would it accelerate to miss it, or break in front of it?
- tropo 8y agoThings work out nicely in this case, but that Tesla slammed the brakes long before a crash was certain. This is itself a hazard, and in other situations would cause crashes.
- jchw 8y agoSlamming on the brakes when going ~5mph is not a hazard. Automatic braking systems can errorneously brake of course, but so far vendors claim they are wildly successful at preventing accidents. As far as I know there's no evidence the false positives outweigh the benefits. Also, if someone stops to try to avoid a collision and you run into them, you are 100% at fault, full stop. Finally, there was at most a couple seconds between the accident and the braking. With the speed that car was going, any reasonable person or algorithm can conclude it's not going to stop in a couple of seconds.
- jellicle 8y agoIs there any evidence that the driver didn't do the braking here?
- kalleboo 8y ago> it’s impossible to think the driver noticed the incoming car Why?
- jchw 8y agoYeah, this bugs me. There appears to be no evidence at all that this was automatic braking other than "it surely must be." This stinks of clickbait.
