Altho' not a big problem in LOS, as there are few Teslas, it showcases the danger of not paying attention and "Driving" your car.

Also showcases bad motorcyclist skills not being aware of what's coming up behind them. 

Seems to be an Anti-Tesla thread, as would think the other dozens of self driving vehicles have the same issue.

Telsa is (in)famous for not using hardware like Lidar and even removed their Radar. They are trying to develop autonomous driving pretty much just based on camera vision which has big drawbacks. Lidar would easily detect an object in front no matter how it looks like. I think most other serious autonomous driving companies use Lidar. On top Tesla is also (in)famous for misleading marketing about the capabilities of their solution which is just Level 2 and requires the driver the pay attention and be able to intervene at all times. Clearly in both mentioned cases this didn't happen. These issues were mentioned in the video btw.

 

See it this way: two people had to die because the worlds richest man wanted to save money.
