Tire Blowout While on Autopilot

I'm curious as to how the Teslas handle a tire blowout while on Autopilot. Has anyone experienced this?

Both your hands on the wheel will be key to your survival.

I dare say that the car handles it well.

It's humans that freak out and do stupid things

Lost a front tire recently, not quite a blowout but very rapid decompression. Autopilot compensated very well at 70mph until I took over and exited the highway.

Should handle it just fine since your hands are suppose to still be on the wheel.

I remember the autopilot having a blowout in the movie "Airplane."
