Numerous Close Calls Show How Tesla Vehicles Save Lives

Tesla Vehicles Saving Lives

Tesla vehicles are among the world's safest vehicles ever made and are equipped with a number of active safety features, a strong and durable body, and software that assists the driver, such as Autopilot and FSD.

In a video that shows numerous close calls with vehicles and a Tesla vehicle - either driving, or shown directly in front, there are narrow misses and quick reaction times by the Tesla vehicle.

Whether this was the driver of the Tesla performing the action to avoid the collision, or the help of software and active safety features, is unknown, however, I do know that Tesla vehicles are very active when in FSD to be aware of the surroundings, and active safety features will cause a Tesla to stop if it's driving and something is in front of it.

In the first clip, a Tesla starts accelerating after a green light. Shortly after accelerating, the Tesla stops abruptly with the brake lights turning on, as a car that nicked another car on the left goes barreling through the intersection.

In the second clip, the Tesla vehicle is on the freeway and slows down to avoid hitting a car that made a dangerous lane change in front of it. A Tesla vehicle usually sounds a forward collision warning in this case, which is a quick succession of high-pitched alerting sounds.

As much as I think forward collision warnings need to be fixed to not be so sensitive, they can also sound when something is in front and slowing down needs to happen immediately in order to be safe, keeping the Tesla driver aware and informed of dangers.

In the third video, it is nighttime, and there appears to be two small "pig-like" creatures crossing the road, causing the forward collision warning sound to fire off and the driver slowing down abruptly, not hitting either of the animals.

In the fourth video, a Tesla is on the freeway driving next to a semi that is drifting back and forth in the lane. As it drifts to the right, it then drifts to the left and gets very close to the Tesla, causing a warning to fire off in the Tesla, which shifts to the left to avoid getting hit by the semi.

Were this a Tesla Semi driving, the chance of it drifting like that would have been much less, do to active safety features.

In the fifth and final clip, the Tesla vehicle is driving on the freeway, when the car ahead of it comes to an abrupt stop, and then the car in front of the car makes a sharp turn to the right and exits the freeway. Both the Tesla and the car in front of it were fortunately not harmed.

Tesla's active safety features save lives. The warning sounds may be startling, but they will tell you when something is in front of you on the road, giving you the chance to move and avoid a collision.

As FSD V12 progresses and gets even more safe, it will be a no-brainer to use that instead of manual driving.
