      Yep, sounds like it - in which case the car did nothing wrong, and it would have happened no matter what car he was driving.

        non tesla options do have better sensors and may have handled collision detection better

          I don’t know if any car is going to override the driver when their foot is to the floor on the pedal.

            that’s literally how collision detection works

            it force brakes

            the problem is tesla cheaps out on the sensor suite to save money

            Well, 10 year old Skoda Fabia (something like VW Polo, small, cheap car) at work does exactly that. So yes?

                Well, probably not. Can’t be 100% sure since it’s not really a thing I’d try to proove in a company car. But it hit the brakes couple times when I was approaching car in front of me too fast for cars liking. And it hit them quite hard, accompanied with alerting sound.
