I'm pretty sure the Tesla would stop on the slightest perception of any impact. Summon is also super slow.

  Detecting collisions reliably is actually really hard - especially minor collisions against soft things like people. I predict that if self driving cars do get widely deployed, the number of 'hit and runs' they do because they couldn't detect they had collided will be very high, even if the overall accident rate is low.

    I don’t believe that. The 360 degree view provided by multiple cameras makes measuring proximity to close objects easy. Look at sentry mode recordings, it’s very obvious on the feed when a person touches the car.

  Even my 8 year old BMW's radar is good enough to detect people at very slow speed.
