#2I have to turn the pedestrian detection off every time I drive past the local school. Why? The kids figured out that it's really easy to make new cars emergency brake by just pretending to walk onto the road.
People suck.

#3I’m a fan of Tesla but when you see that their system is not a bit better than the competition (they’re all failing in low light conditions), I don’t know how they can claim autonomous driving “coming soon.” Especially after Uber’s death you’d think that this specific condition would be given extremely high priority.

Same thing I guess? It's humans sabotaging a safety feature intended to protect them.

Cars are the leading cause of dead children in the US and this is what annoys you?

How'd you arrive at this conclusion? That's a bizarrely uncharitable interpretation of what I wrote.
I assure you, I'm annoyed by many other things too.
>Cars are the leading cause of dead children
You know, this obviously is exactly why it annoys me to turn off the pedestrian detection. It's not like it protects me, sitting in my car.

I think it is more like testing your bounds or figuratively pulling the rope to see if it breaks. Both are innate human (and animal) behavior and in that both a blessing and a curse.

#9Audi A4 and Subaru Outback aced 3 years ago in similar test (ADAC, Germany) :

Audi A4 has single monochrome camera (+well tuned image recognition HW/SW) and Eyesight system from Subaru has two cameras and it's already used for ~5 years.

#10Basically none of them are good enough for a real world scenario in a busy city. But they may save life on some scenarios which is good.
They can achieve a huge safety improvement by forcing speed limit. But somehow car manufacturers don’t want to implement it.
