Breaking early to avoid a collision is a standard feature of modern vehicles. Even my very not cutting edge, definitely not top of the line 10 year old Volvo has it! (Admittedly Volvo tends to pack more safety features into their vehicles than other manufacturers for a given target market / price point iirc.)
Tesla gets no bonus points for having collision avoidance, pedestrian detection or any of the now standard safety features that are available on every modern vehicle that targets the same markets.
- elif 4y agoI did not describe emergency automatic braking. I described a side collision that is unavoidable, e.g. someone running a red light, and the car being able to determine how to control that accident to prevent injury. No other manufacturers uses side cameras and continuous 3d mapping and localization and physics projections to do things like this. And despite the -4 karma tax for speaking on behalf of Tesla, the statistics DO show that no other manufacturer is as good at it.
