    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
