Reenactment for this case but this time, it's a bus cutting in front of a truck that's full of Tesla cars

But were they on autopilot at the time?

At 50mph, 16feet can be covered in 0.2seconds.

That would be a massive swerve if it was perpendicular to the vehicles trajectory. You can go 200 mph foward and inch towards the side at a snails pace. So the 0.2s is not a valid value here. I'd venture to say a normal lane change takes at least about 3s, covering about 16-20 ft laterally. That is significantly slower.
I second the car needs radar on the corners though.

Your'e on to something. That would better represent the system, might even prevent some lawsuits.

It took ACP as a humorous reference to a quite famous acronym from Colt.

Either way, Tesla is sure to get hit by a AP-related law suit, it's a too juicy target for some US lawyer.
