    Data from the Autopilot system shows that it recognized the stopped car 37 yards or 2.5 seconds before the crash.

    Is the video slowed down? In the video, if you pause 2.5s before the crash, the stopped police car seems to be very close already.

      I find that it can be hard to tell when a car ahead is stopped, maybe the visual system on the tesla has similar limitations. I think autopilot is controlled by the cameras alone but I’m not super up to date on tesla stuff. I would assume even a basic radar set up could tell something was stationary from quite far away.
