However, contrary to your earlier assertion, there is a series of
three actions (verbs) in that sentence ("steer", "accelerate" and "brake"), followed by an adverbial clause ("automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians"). Base on the sentence structure and rules of grammar, that adverbial phrase can only be interpreted two ways. It is either modifying just the last verb, as in:
Code:
Enables your car to:
1) steer,
2) accelerate and
3) brake automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians
or it is modifying
all three verbs, as in:
Code:
Enables your car to:
1) steer automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians,
2) accelerate automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians and
3) brake automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians
As written, there is no third way to interpret that phrase. It cant apply to just 2 & 3, or 1 & 3, or 1 & 2
The second option troubles me.
I think we agree that it will brake automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians and I will ascent to the notion that it will accelerate automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians. However I cannot wrap my head around the assertion that it will steer automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians. Correct me (again) if I'm wrong, but no version of AP, EAP, or FSD does that (yet). It just doesn't make sense.
If we agree that "automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians" does not apply to how the car steers, then it cannot apply to all three and we must agree that it only applies to how it brakes.
