Wow, that was interesting.

At every change of identification of an object it becomes "static" again. That seems very stupid if you've already estimated the path of an object.

The human driver didn't do too badly I think. The auditory alert only came at -0.2s until impact, and they braked at 0.7s after impact.

From relaxing and playing with your phone to braking in only 0.9 seconds.

Of course they were supposed to be paying attention, but I fully understand how it would be difficult to pay attention for hours without having to do anything, then suddenly be expected to react immediately. That's the most dangerous thing about these half-driving cars.
