Re: Tesla footage of braking before crash ahead [video]
#2I thought this an interesting video when Elon retweeted it. Basically the car is responding faster than the people do and keeping things from escalating. That said, having been on 101 when the cars in front start dancing like that I have to say my biggest worry isn't stopping in time its having someone behind me not stop.

I expect an autopilot could deal with that situation much better than a human as well. It should be able to predict if the car behind won't stop. Certainly better than a human driver could (if the human would even notice the car coming from behind with that happening in front). Then, assuming there is some space open in front, as there was in this case, it could accelerate to avoid the collision from behind. Now I'm curious whether Tesla's autopilot is already programmed to do this.

#4I was very confused about this video until I watched it with the sound on. The Tesla beeps at the driver clearly before the accident has occurred, but doesn't appear to decelerate until afterwards.

I imagine it'd get pretty annoying (and dangerous) if it slammed on the breaks every time two cars got close. It knew what was happening and was ready to break when the accident actually occurred.

And so was he. The first talking you hear is them telling the kids to stay put until they're sure no one is going to be rear ending them.
Does anyone know if these braking systems account for people driving behind you? And if a collision is inevitable, what do they "choose"?

#9I am super excited for the self driving Autopilot to be enabled! I'd love to be able to buy a Tesla for my parents.

After watching the footage several times, it seems to me like the car is breaking either just before or immediately at the point of impact, certainly way faster than a human driver could.
What I'm curious about is whether the autopilot predicted the crash due to the relative speed of the two cars ahead of it, or if it was reacting solely to the change in speed of the car that braked.
