Member “Tree95” shared a story I could imagine happening on any day of the Auto Brake week on my drive home:
“I got onto a ‘cloverleaf’ style onramp to a freeway in early afternoon. As I went around the 270 degree turn, I was staring at the freeway I was about get onto amazed that it was already stop-n-go. I heard the car’s collision alarm (I honestly don’t know if it started braking or if I hit the brake first). This onramp had metering lights at the bottom, and there was a car stopped at the metering light in front of me. I wasn’t expecting it, and I wasn’t looking ahead because I was staring out to the left looking at the stopped traffic on the freeway.”
Finally, user “mikeash” shared a key detail for all of us non-Telsa owners (or maybe I should say “future Tesla owners”
[Autobraking is] on all the time. There’s a button in the settings to turn it off temporarily, but it automatically re-enables next time you drive, and it’s on by default to start with.”
These real-life stories call attention to the fact that Tesla is not just building quality electric cars with more range than the other guys, but it is truly transforming the way we interact with cars and the way they work for us. Autopilot. Life-extending pollution filtration. And now… Auto-braking. I’m just waiting for Elon to tell us all that the autopilot in our Teslas will also take us to Mars… perhaps in another couple of years….
How do you narrowly avoid a nasty car crash without even touching the steering wheel or the brakes? Lucky for one Uber driver, his ride is a Tesla.
