  | human would not even think twice

  | not the lights, but the vertical lens flares captured by single
  | front facing center mounted camera cluster - afaik Tesla still
  | has no stereo vision.

  | 
  | more like driver jerked to the right while having a heart
  | attack and seeing itself going into a full frontal collision
  | thanks to move fast and break things mentality

| oncoming traffic, and the driver manually pulled back to the
| correct lane, but lost control and went off the road.

| 
| Had the driver not kept their eyes on the road or was sleeping in

| vehicle. This video just proves that night-vision is non-existent
| in this 'safety-critical' system.
| 
| Outrageous.
