if it can actually sense a crash is imminent, why wouldn't it be programmed to slam the brakes instead of just turning off?
Do they have a problem with false positives?

What the fuck
they generally do
“But humans can do it with their eyes!”
That's the best part, they kinda can't.
There are videos from before they pulled the sensors of some pretty cool stuff where teslas slammed the breaks before anything visibly happened, based on lidar sensors sensing trouble a couple cars up the road, completely blocked to vision.
super cool safety tech, and then they pulled it....

I don't believe automatic swerving is a good idea, depending on what's off to the side it has the potential to make a bad situation much worse.
I'm thinking like, kid runs into the street, car swerves and mows down a crowd on the sidewalk
