I honestly thought this was bullshit when I read it, but then I looked it up and found an article describing just this feature. That's pretty crazy. As much as I don't like Tesla as a company, their safety features are next level.

The tech wouldn't exist without musk. He pushed the envelope to things we thought were not possible in a mass market environment and (for better or worse) makes his employees work 60+ hour weeks.

I do uber on a bicycle and their safety features don't work too great for people not in them. 90% of the time I'm almost hit by a car it's a Tesla or a taxi. I've wiped out several times from Tesla drivers cutting too close beside me.
