So a Suburban takes 165 feet
So a Suburban takes 165 feet to stop from 60 mph and a Tesla can do that in 108 feet, but somehow you feel that a Suburban is safer even though it takes 57 more feet to stop. Your argument only works if the driver is basically blind-folded. Also, even though the Tesla rear-ended the Corolla, the Corolla occupants still had the advantage of the huge Tesla crumple-zone, which absorbed vast amounts of kinetic energy. Had the Suburban hit the Corolla at even half the speed of the Tesla impact, you would have had the same or an even worse outcome.
Right now the Tesla model S has been out for only two years and the speed at which they are introducing new features on their vehicles is unprecedented. You risk your automotive reputation to think Tesla will not have a superior collision-avoidance system within a reasonable time-frame. The major auto companies wasted decades before they started putting these on a few models. Everyone knows these features take time to develop, test, and implement, but not decades. By the way, when it comes to safety, I first care about the occupants in my car, which typically is my family. Also, you should read the article you referenced me to. They emphasize passenger safety and protecting the vehicle, nothing about protecting the other passengers in the other car. Why is that? Maybe, just maybe, because that is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the car they are driving. Knowing what you know, would you drive around in a Ford Pinto? Looks like the Toyota Corolla is the Ford Pinto of the 2010's. So rather than trying to blame everyone who owns a car that hits a Corolla for not having better collision-avoidance systems, let's instead get Toyota to produce a safer car. Maybe you have become numb to 200,000 car fires a year on American roads or the 200+ deaths every year from these fires. If you want to change things for the better, start with the article titled "Toyota Corolla Death-Trap Kills Three in Gasoline-Fueled Fire". Running anything else is just exploiting the three senseless deaths and Tesla's brand for readers.
