    So as expected, and as has been the case with almost every case where someone blames FSD or Autopilot, the guy has just been lying through his teeth.

    It’s like the people who go and scratch up teslas without realising that they’re on camera. Everything these cars do is logged in a black box type manner. You will not win in court by attempting to say it did something it didn’t.

        Yep, sounds like it - in which case the car did nothing wrong, and it would have happened no matter what car he was driving.

          non tesla options do have better sensors and may have handled collision detection better

              Well, 10 year old Skoda Fabia (something like VW Polo, small, cheap car) at work does exactly that. So yes?

                  Well, probably not. Can’t be 100% sure since it’s not really a thing I’d try to proove in a company car. But it hit the brakes couple times when I was approaching car in front of me too fast for cars liking. And it hit them quite hard, accompanied with alerting sound.

              that’s literally how collision detection works

              it force brakes

              the problem is tesla cheaps out on the sensor suite to save money

                Your car would not stop you flying off the road into a house while you have your foot to the floor and going 75mph.

                  visual only isn’t a good thing, when the whole rest of the industry and multiple experts tell you this will kill people

                  then you proceed to have an outsized crash record and kill people
