    I want vehicles that rely on cameras for detecting obstacles to be banned.

    Anything that uses reasonable object detection methods should be banned if it lets you drive into a house. My Kia won’t let me drive into a house.

        My kid tried to drive it into a hedge and it wouldn’t let them. Not the same as accelerating from across the road at a house but also the car makes no self driving claims.

      Honestly curious, what will your Kia do if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away? I have no idea how my BYD would react and I’m not eager to test it. It has emergency braking, but I don’t know how effective that actually is.

        if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away?

        I don’t know for sure and I can’t think of a good way to test. It certainly wouldn’t hit it when “driving itself” with smart cruise control or if I tried to drive into it from a few metres away.

          Well yeah, but it seems likely in this case the accelerator was being floored, dunno for how long. So much as I hate to give tesla a pass, they’re probably not really at fault here unless new info appears.
