Wow, that is a tough experience to go through. I have had a couple near misses and sometimes wonder how lives would be changed if I was late on the brake or didn't swerve.

Don't outdrive your headlights. If you couldn't see a child standing on the road in time you should be going slower.

That video doesn't give a realistic view of what a driver would see. It might even have been dimmed by Uber to make it look more convincing.

The dumb Tesla crashed into a truck.

South Florida is totally ripe for driverless vehicles. There are 2 general groups of drivers that are problematic. One group are the tourists and the older people, who may be a little hesitant and slow making decisions on the road, and may be making mistakes. The other group are the younger and middle aged drivers, who are permanently pissed at the oldsters and tourists.

Both are bad; I couldn't tell who's more dangerous. I know one thing - when driving in this state, forget about tiny compacts. You want the heaviest chunk of steel you can find.
