Tesla's Autopilot Just Saw A Horrible Crash Before It Even Happened
We were pretty impressed by Elon Musk’s claim just a few months ago that the latest updates to Tesla’s Autopilot software would allow it to effectively see through the car in front. Finally, footage has surfaced that suggests it really is a life-saver.
Dashcam footage filmed from inside a Tesla – we think it’s a Model S based on the apparent ride height, but we can’t be sure – shows a really nasty accident on a fast dual-carriageway in the Netherlands.
But a second before the Opel Corsa smashes into the back of a black SUV, causing the latter to spike into the central reservation and barrel-roll, the Tesla’s systems start beeping as Autopilot takes action. Hans Noordsij, the Twitter user who got the driver’s permission to upload the video, confirms that it was the car that hit the brakes, not the human.
Hats off to Tesla; that’s a mighty fine save it just pulled off.

Haters gonna say it’s edited…..
So the uploader asked the car for permission?
IIHS be like…
The only reason that te auto pilot hit the brakes is because the driver wasnt paying attention. And he wasnt paying attention because he was using the autopilot. So it didnt really safe anyone. It just did what it was suposed to do.
Driver wasn’t using autopilot, it detected the crash and interviened as an emergency braking system
There. Is. A. Volvo. On. The. Roof……

The car simply saw the braked car in front. It didnt predict a crash
You know what really grinds my gears, that one Tesla got saved from a crash and Tesla thinks they are the best.
Loads of Tesla’s crash, and Tesla just ignores it like nothing happened
All cars crash, but not all cars do this
It wasn’t a Model S it was a green Model X.
