If this Dec 20th 2016 dashcam video is anything to go by, perhaps
there are cases when the computer can react even faster
than most humans, in this instance braking safely before the fact that
an accident is about to occur becomes self-evident.

This car, a Tesla S, has what Tesla refer to as an "autopilot" feature.
Though an upgrade was recently announced, currently the Tesla "autopilot"
is still really only an advanced driver-assist feature rather than being full Level 5 autonomous.

Ford announced last month that they are skipping Level 3 autonomy
and going straight to Level 4. The reason? Ford's own engineers
were falling asleep during Level 3 test drives even when every attempt
was made to keep them alert.
