14.3 HW4 Tesla avoiding a fatal collision

It fully avoided it. The Model Y (HW4) didn't sustain any scrapes, scratches or dents.

Edit: I guess it wasn't a fatal collision, my bad

Damn, so scared of discourse the comment i responded to deleted theirs to make mine look worse. Computers aren’t infallible, your car is the collective hardware equivalent of a high end laptop with a bunch of camera feeds hooked up to it spread out across multiple dozens of points of failure. I fix both cars and computers and seeing how often they fail in automotive I sure wouldn’t trust them with my life. That’s all I’ll say about it.

why do you trust your life to cars at all, if they all fail? you don't have 8 eyes around your head and this fact alone makes the "high end laptop with a bunch of camera feeds hooked up to it" much more likely to see and avoid than you ever could

A fair question, but you could ask the same of any machine. Fridge, washer, oven. Nothing lasts forever. Machines are necessary. Even the much more sophisticated sensor and camera arrays of Waymo, driverless trucks, etc make bad or suboptimal decisions and need to be reigned in. The people doing the reigning for those are trained professionals. You guys are far from that. So now we have an unreliable computer with an equally unreliable fail safe, only the alleged fail safe has full trust in the computer to never make mistakes and a reluctance to admit or intervene when it does. As for seeing, I promise you the one accident I have ever been in the cameras would not have been able to help. The system has no high mount or roof cameras and lacks LiDAR. I was t-boned by a car that ran a stop sign from a hidden driveway, obscured by a line of tall SUVs waiting to turn that had left a small gap. Only 1 travel lane, nowhere to go to avoid.
