The video in Cor's post goes beyond tweets, plugin forums, the plugin community (backwater whatnot regions), etc. Today CBS News (U.S. national TV) at 5pm pst (ch5 local SF, CA station) aired the video of this Netherlands crash that the host's Tesla EV reacted so fast as to apply the brakes just before the bump,bash,flip happened. See http://www.cbsnews.com/live/video/tesla-autopilot-slams-on-brakes-right-before-crash/ [video flash] IMO, it all happened so fast, in human terms with our slower cognitive& reaction time than the Tesla's autopilot, we might call it a prediction. In Tesla's on-board autopilot terms, its conclusion (the crash) was inevitable> so apply the brakes (not a prediction so much as 'a probability of a logical conclusion'). However one wants to define it (prediction, probability), it shows the positive side of having an autopilot on-board (something Musk has been saying all along, eh?).
