The problem Tesla has is that their system only has ~ 40 meters visibility to back or front.

That means if you're on the Autobahn, at say 130km/h in the right lane, and a Porsche is coming from behind at 300km/h, the Tesla will not be able to see it, and consider the lane free.



Remind me never to drive on a German Autobahn.


It’s quite interesting, because obviously an entirely different class of issues becomes apparent when the speed between two lanes on a highway can differ by a factor of 4.

This is what you get when the speed limit actually is "unlimited".
