Tesla software predicts someone else’s accident

This is a pretty amazing video (and, fortunately, everyone involved ended up okay): A car accident is predicted by a Tesla’s sensors before it happens, allowing the car to apply the brake before the driver can react.

Not an accident involving the Tesla. An accident involving the two cars in front of the Tesla, thanks to new Tesla software that can look past the car right in front of it.
