My entire point is that even outside of FSD this is a scenario a base model Corolla has the technology to handle: AEB

You don't actively engage AEB, at the kinds of low speeds involved AEB would have engaged and at least helped stop the car.

This was traffic that was going maybe 20 mph, and the car still hit me solidly enough for my car to lurch forward and almost hit the one in front of me

But as an aside, this is why Tesla's "Full Self Driving" shouldn't be on the market: It is always human error.

Even if FSD was enabled (I hope it wasn't) it'd be the human's fault for not reacting.

Teslas AEB works but if the driver has their foot on the accelerator it won’t. And with one pedal driving, there’s the issue.

But it could also be a case of the person turned it off because of course Tesla let’s you control that.

IMO if the car thinks you’re going to crash it shouldn’t let you override AEB period. Why this isn’t a law…

Seriously?!? Tesla drivers learn to basically always have their foot on the accelerator, because the car slows quite aggressively with the accelerator all the way released.

IMO the one-foot model makes it quite hard to drive without lurching a bit and without unnecessary accidental light breaking while cruising. I often imagine that careful haptic feedback on the pedals could enable a much better one-pedal or blended braking experience.
