Video footage taken from the dash cam of a Tesla Model X on Tuesday, December 27, shows the vehicle’s autopilot predicting and avoiding a car accident.
Frank van Hoesel was traveling on a highway in the Netherlands when the Tesla’s Autopilot collision warning sounded.
Tesla’s self-driving system sounded the alarm before van Hoesel saw what was about to happen on the road ahead; the car obscured by the vehicle directly ahead of the Tesla appeared to brake sharply, causing a collision. The Tesla’s warning and automatic brake prevented the electric vehicle from becoming involved.
