Isn't it supposed to be better than a human driver?
I keep hearing arguments that there would be less accidents overall if every car had Tesla tech.
This.
What I didn't understand is if Rober was testing Tesla's Autopilot against itself or against him.
It didn't seem like it was the latter.
This would suggest that the ADAS system detected the collision but too late and disengaged the system instead of applying the brakes.
If that's true, that's heinous.
I assume Autopilot would disengage if the driver hit the brakes, early on.
If Autopilot disengaged at the 'last second' because it didn't brake in time, then the driver wasn't paying appropriate attention, and assumed AP would handle it.
Until it didn't.
