Re: Crash (almost) re-created by another driver

Which is all well and good, and very interesting in itself...

But what bothers me is why the autopilot didn't stop, or at least slow, the car when it perceived that it was rapidly approaching a solid obstacle, regardless of "lane markings". What if it had been completely right about the lane, but there had been a stationary car in it? Wouldn't it have stopped?

Or did it not perceive the obstacle? Because that's a whole other can of worms, but no less wriggly.
