Tesla’s Autopilot feature is often mentioned in the context of the vehicle driving itself, but it’s actually much more of an assistance for the driver \u2014 and in certain situations, it can save you from an imminent crash.<\/p>\n

Brown posted a YouTube video<\/a> of the incident and described it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I actually wasn’t watching that direction and Tessy (the name of my car) was on duty with autopilot engaged. I became aware of the danger when Tessy alerted me with the ‘immediately take over’ warning chime and the car swerving to the right to avoid the side collision,” he wrote.\u00a0 Read more…<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
