I was driving yesterday on PCH in heavy beach traffic, southbound near Zuma Beach, in the left lane, with Autopilot engaged. A car (white Toyota) tried to abruptly merge in from the right, and I expected Autopilot to recognize the situation and brake or take evasive action, but it didn't. I had to manually slam on the brakes at the last second; if I hadn't, I'm certain there would have been a collision..
I've send the dashcam video and info to Tesla so they can use it as a data point for testing. Meanwhile, this is a good reminder of why Autopilot is no excuse to take your eyes off the road!
