Look, human drivers lose the ability to recognize tractor trailers as solid objects all the time when they go slightly over the speed limit, I don't see why this is a problem

Autopilot has a record here, so no the cruise control (which Autopilot is just enhanced cruise control anyways) is not the issue here. It openly sold as being able to detect objects and avoid accidents. And instead its killing people.

The only reason trailers in the US have underrun protection at all in the rear is because a very famous person was killed in a crash once.

side barriers definitely would’ve helped this tesla auto driving straight into it. this self driving poo poo is not even close to ready for public use.
