Tesla on Autopilot crashes into van

Within a week of Tesla releasing Autopilot to the masses, we started seeing some generally scary videos of people putting a little too much trust in the system. Well, we're continuing to see them, and the latest video has resulted in a proper collision
"Yes, I could have reacted sooner, but when the car slows down correctly 1,000 times, you trust it to do it the next time to. My bad."

That's not a proper collision.

The result was the Model S actually accelerating slightly into the van, causing a collision that looked low-speed. But according to Thomann, "the whole front of the car needs to be replaced, including a parking sensor and a steel beam."

Looked like it was breaking when it hit the van
You left this part out to for some reason:

Thomann blames the car, both for not spotting the van and for the automatic braking system failing to trigger. However, as YouTube commenter Shaimach points out, the Model S manual calls out this exact situation as something drivers need to be aware of:
Warning: Traffic-aware cruise control may not brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles, especially in situations when you are driving over 50 mph (80 km/h) and a vehicle you are following moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object is in front of you instead. Always pay attention to the road ahead and stay prepared to take immediate corrective action. Depending on TrafficAware Cruise Control to avoid a collision can result in serious injury or death.
Driver is completely at fault here.

That could have been much worse. Looks like the car went into a panic stop and just couldn't quite come to a halt.
Then again, WTF was that van doing there?
Based on what I've seen from Google, General Motors, Mercedes Benz, and Tesla.....we aren't quite there yet with driver-less vehicles. I'm not even sure people would welcome it although I'd like to take advantage of it on longer highway jaunts.

Furthermore, autopilot wasn't actually engaged, just TACC. The driver had control of the steering
From the driver:

Guys, this has nothing to do with autopilot. It was the TACC that failed and actually accelerated onto the standing van and the AEB did not brake at all. Also, the collision warning came way too late.

Y'all are such Tesla homos.
Feature isn't ready for the masses if wrecks can happen this easily.

Which feature? The one not designed for this exact situation as specifically warned by Tesla? It is traffic aware cruise control that is available on a lot more than just Tesla.
Go buy something off Amazon and relax

So traffic aware cruise control that is found on many luxury vehicles? The one that tesla specifically says doesn't work in this situation?
Cuz the driver had control of the wheel....

OK Elon, calm down.Posted on 5/26/16 at 12:13 pm to CAD703X
You're the one posting in all caps.
The car also warned the driver, who was in control of the vehicle and admittedly not paying attention, of a possible collision. It warned the driver of this exact situation as well.
It's admittedly a beta system too with less front collisions compared to other makers. So how is Tesla at fault here?

So does this mean in the future if someone rear ends me in a automated car, I can't get mad at them and punch them out? because its just the cars fault

Do you actually read what you are getting ready to post?

i mean thats a pretty straight up crash. most cars can detect straight on objects. i can understand maybe side swiping a vehicle on the side of the car but in front? yikes

The issue is that the other car doesn't change lanes so the vehicle is still locked on to it as the vehicle in front until it is too late.
Which is why Tesla warns owners of this situation. The guy had his hands on the wheels and should have taken over both as he needed to change lanes anyways. He wasn't paying attention

Unless you think only Teslas would do this and not other cars with the same feature?
