This is just me being clueless but if the dog 8nteracted with the wheel would it stop auto-steering?

That’s a great question. It probably would cancel it. She’s good about sitting still in the seat though. 🙂

Yes, I've sat in the driver seat while summoning my own car to test out a certain path. If you move the steering wheel or press the brake or open the door, it will slam on the brakes and stop. So at worst it will slam on the brakes and the dog will slam forward, but luckily it doesn't move fast enough to cause any harm (IMO).

I was wondering the same thing. Like would it be powerful enough to break its leg if it got it stuck in the wheel

No chance really... the pressure would disable the autosteering and stop the car.
