At that time the system was merely lane keep with adaptive cruise control. Any system would have had a similar result at that time.

- jazzyjackson 5y agoshould have had emergency auto-brake. As I understand it the radar either didn’t see the trailer or filtered it out as stationary - camera was unable to distinguish white steel from white sky - should have been a wake up call that current tech doesn’t have the sensory bandwidth to know if something is blocking the road.
- ModernMech 5y agoNot any system. My recollection of that specific event was that is was due to the bright white tractor trailer not being picked up by the Tesla's camera. A system built with an orthogonal sensor could have picked up the trailer despite the camera missing it (e.g. a LIDAR). Proper fusion of those streams would have avoided the issue, and that person would be alive, or at least not dead because of Tesla's poorly engineered system.
- mcot2 5y agoTo clarify, any adaptive cruise system in deployment at that time.
