Not to exonerate Tesla, but cars are ALWAYS almost about to hit something. The next time you’re driving down a curvy road, pay close attention to all the obstacles that are by the side of the road and how often you are pointed right at them and how small the steering adjustments you make are and how little time there is between you almost hitting something and then not.

This is part of why trying to second guess a driver or autopilot is insane; a crashing and non-crashing car are almost identical, except for the crash.

True. But these aren't auto self driving cars. A self driving car should know its next move, 10 seconds before it makes it(or something similar). There's 0 excuse for it hitting a barrier in 0 traffic.
