    It’s not just Tesla’s that have automatic breaking that can fail. Even basic cars have that “feature” now. I fucking hate it. My entire family was in the car and we almost got rear ended super hard because ours kicked in for the right reasons, but did it super far back from the incident and fast as hell. The person behind us had less than a second to react, luckily, there was no one in the next lane and they were able to swerve around. I’ve been terrified to drive it ever since.

    I agree no one should be tailgating but the algorithm needs to factor that in when it’s happening. I knew exactly how I wanted to handle the situation but the stupid car prevent me from doing it the safer way.
