Well that's why Tesla made it so Autopilot will auto-disengage in case of a possible accident so you can do your part for the good of daddy Elon, citizen and be a good responsible beta tester.

elon: it seems the user suddenly jerked their wheel over to the left hand side of the road. braked immediately and caused this pile up. they then hacked into caltrans camera footage of the bay bridge to cover up their mistake. not tesla's fault!

I guess I'm confused. It looks like it has a signal on to switch the left lane and brakes. Wouldn't the cause of the accident really be the cars behind that slammed into it?

I always heard when I was a young driver that the person who hits someone else from behind is always legally at fault, but I don't know if that's true or just something they tell teens to get them to pay more attention to the road.

oh no, they do that to you. My 84 toyota pickup got totaled when a firetruck jumped into a lane while an old, rich woman in a camry was cutting me off, and it was very clear what happened. I took 100% fault for it because I failed to stop and was too close because her camry couldn't open the hatch and was totaled.

It generally was, but changing lanes and slamming on the brakes is a common insurance scam called "swoop and squat", so they are more suspicious of it. Same thing with people who intentionally brake check people or otherwise slam on the brakes in the middle of the road for no reason: it's different if you can prove that the person in front was driving recklessly or intentionally tried to cause an accident.

Dash cams are good and can save your rear end in cases like this.

california law the presumption is that the last car in an accident is the one at fault.

however if you suddenly stop like that tesla did... you are the cause of the fault and will be blamed for it. especially considering the video evidence.

You'd think dead stop for no loving reason on the interstate is some kind of reckless endangerment that would make the Tesla at-fault, but they hit them from behind so:shrug:

To be fair, cars do break down all the time even in dangerous situations. Technically speaking people shouldn't be following so close that they can't stop in time.

Looks to me like that was a pretty hard stop, not really sure how the cars behind it are supposed to respond to that other than how they did, they were obviously also braking by the time they realized what was happening but I genuinely don't see how this could be the fault of the cars behind it. I am confused by what you think is confusing about this?

In theory they could be driving the entire stopping distance behind each other, but nobody does that otherwise roads could only carry half as many cars and nobody expects the car in front to just slam on the brakes for no reason.

You would need to be at least 15 car lengths behind that Tesla traveling at 60mph to not hit it under extreme sudden braking, 30 car lengths at 80mph

It’s generally true but brake checking people is the exception, especially if you do it right after a lane change when people don't have the opportunity to set up a safe following distance

1 car length per 10 mph, or 50 car lengths if it's a Tesla on autopilot.

Also, Teslas are more on the performance end of the car spectrum, and most people option them with performance tires. Even with a "safe" following distance, a Tesla slamming the brakes would make 80% of other cars on the road smash into the back of it, even if you hard brake immediately after seeing the Tesla do it. If you have a truck or SUV, forget it, you'd need a 6-8+ car following distance to have a chance to not smash into a smaller performance car that is doing emergency braking.
