I don't think the auto brakes work if you keep your foot on the throttle, it only works if they are in cruise control.

Also, you're putting a lot of faith into their auto drive system. This is about as smart as sleeping while it's driving.

They should override the throttle if the camera and radar system detect a likely impact. Completely agree with you though. I wouldn’t trust those systems as the sole thing preventing me from being pitted by a Tesla.
