The whole scenario would look very similar if the Tesla was a car suffering from a breakdown and moving to the safest lane it can reach safely. In such a case we would also expect other drivers to pay enough attention to prevent an accident like this...
- throwaheyy 4y agoNo, it wouldn’t in a breakdown situation in any other car, the driver would try to pull over to the right. Most drivers gain an instinct to passing slower/stopped objects on the left, and a natural aversion to passing them on the right. The Tesla pulled over and stopped in the far left lane. No “space” was left to pass it.
- mtsr 4y agoIt's either changing 3 lanes to the right or 1 to the left. In case of loss of control, in this case with the car coming to a stop very quickly, it might be better heading for the left lane, instead of getting stuck in the middle or second lane from the right.
