Lawyers for the plaintiff argue that Tesla’s driver-assistance feature called Autopilot should have warned the driver and braked when his Model S sedan blew through flashing red lights, a stop sign and a T-intersection at nearly 70 miles an hour in the April 2019 crash. Tesla lays the blame solely on the driver, who was reaching for a dropped cell phone.

    All Teslas have AEB (automatic emergency braking) which is active at all times.

    It’s not a stop for a light or stop sign type thing, but it will try to slow the vehicle if a crash is imminent.

    Never expect AEB in any car to reliably prevent a crash. That’s not it’s main purpose. Reducing speeds is. It will have more success at prevention at slower speeds.

    Edit: You can watch the EURO NCAP testing of it here on the 2025 Model 3
