The following collision avoidance features are designed to increase the safety of you and your passengers:
  • Forward Collision Warning - provides visual, audible, and haptic feedback warnings in situations when Model 3 detects that there is a high risk of a frontal collision (see Forward Collision Warning).
  • Automatic Emergency Braking - automatically applies braking to reduce the impact of a frontal collision (see Automatic Emergency Braking).
  • Obstacle-Aware Acceleration - reduces acceleration if Model 3 detects an object in its immediate driving path (see Obstacle-Aware Acceleration).

One of these systems should have at minimum alerted the driver, ideally stopping the vehicle before it hit anything.
