Testing Tesla Full Self-Driving is so much fun. Her head rolled and her arm ended up in the gutter. Poor thing! Even the human driver couldn’t stop in time.

The time from when u see the doll to the point of contact is 1 second and the car still managed to stop before actually running it over. No car can go from 22mph to 0 in under a second so this is impressive imo. I don’t think a human could’ve done better 🤷🏽‍♂️

Physics is the limit. Based on chatGPT : To calculate the stopping time of a Tesla Model S Plaid at a velocity of 22 miles per hour (mph) when fully braking, we need to know the braking acceleration (or deceleration) rate of the vehicle. The stopping time t can be calculated using the formula: t = v/a where v is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration (deceleration in this case). For braking, a will be negative, indicating a reduction in speed. Tesla vehicles, particularly the Model S Plaid, are known for having good braking systems, but the specific deceleration rate isn't widely published. For passenger cars, a typical average deceleration can be estimated around 7 to 10 meters per second squared (m/s^2 ), but this can vary based on conditions like road surface, tire condition, and whether the vehicle is equipped with ABS. To proceed, I'll assume a deceleration of 7.5 m/s^2 (or about 24.6 ft/s^2). First, we need to convert the speed from mph to feet per second (ft/s) for consistency with our acceleration unit: 22 mph approx 22 times 1.467 = 32.274 ft/s Now, we can calculate the stopping time: t = 32.274 ft/s / 24.6 ft/s^2 Let's do this calculation to find the stopping time. At a velocity of 22 mph, a Tesla Model S Plaid would require approximately 1.31 seconds to come to a full stop with full braking, assuming an average deceleration rate of about 24.6 ft/s². Keep in mind that actual stopping times can vary depending on road conditions and vehicle factors. To calculate the stopping distance, we can use the formula for distance traveled under constant acceleration (or deceleration, in this case): d = v^2 / 2a where: - d is the stopping distance, - v is the initial velocity, - a is the deceleration. We've already converted the initial velocity to feet per second (32.274 ft/s) and we're using an assumed deceleration of 24.6 ft/s². Let's calculate the stopping distance using these values. At a velocity of 22 mph, a Tesla Model S Plaid would require approximately 21.17 feet (6.45 meters) to come to a full stop with full braking, given the assumed average deceleration rate of about 24.6 ft/s². This calculation assumes ideal conditions, and actual results may vary with different road and vehicle conditions. Now from the video, we see the model appear when the tesla arrives at half height of the car masking it, i.e. at about a distance that I estimate at about 3m. So physically it is impossible to avoid hitting the model... QED

I don't know why, but I found myself LOL as well - her head popped right off! The doll suddenly came lurching out of nowhere - OMG - nobody, and I mean NOBODY could have stopped for that thing. The funniest part is that the doll started moving so quickly & w/ full confidence!

FSD did not handle it. not good.

Nobody could have avoided the doll in that scenario.

How did you determine at what distance from the doll the doll got pulled? If this distance is less than the car maximum break capability it will be always a hit. I think in this case this happened. The other question is whether the car software capable of creating evasive maneuver.

Did the car try to stop? It looked unavoidable to me. About .7 seconds from when she emerged—not enough time to stop completely.

😂 My little fox gave me more time to stop than your doll gave you.

Hope your car was ok

It’s fine.
