Tesla Introduces 'Automatic Collision Evasion' for Manual Drives
Not a Tesla App • • technology
Key Points:
- Tesla has introduced a new active safety feature called Automatic Collision Evasion, which automatically engages Full Self-Driving (FSD) to perform evasive maneuvers during manual driving to prevent crashes.
- This feature activates in two scenarios: imminent frontal collisions where swerving is safer than braking, and when the driver is detected as inattentive or not in control of the vehicle.
- Automatic Collision Evasion is currently available only in North America and requires the purchase and activation of FSD (Supervised) to function.
- During an active evasive maneuver, driver inputs like the accelerator are limited, and FSD can only be overridden by strong, deliberate steering; the system prompts the driver to retake control once the hazard is cleared.
- Tesla emphasizes that this feature is a last-resort emergency intervention and does not replace the driver’s responsibility to remain attentive and in control at all times.
