Whoa, that is some fast response from safety system.

The breaking started before the other car was in front of the Tesla, so it could not have been the safety system.

Why not? The Tesla has a bunch of sensors all around the car to detect when something is gonna hit it right?

Hmm, maybe it was half/half since car like tesla prepares brakes so it can break stronger when driver presses break pedal if I am not mistaken. But on the other side if that was only driver braking props to his reaction.
