The headline is deeply misleading. The technique discussed applies only to a specific driving situation, and only to a specific failure mode: that in which the firmware decides it is safe to overtake on a freeway when in fact it is not. There are thousands of other driving situations in which firmware, due to bugs, inadequate inputs, or the innate shortcomings of any algorithm, could cause a collision. There are also many other failure modes that could cause a collision when overtaking on a freeway. Problem not solved. Sorry.
