I drive a Tesla and don't use the self-steering feature exactly because of this. What I do instead is enable the warnings from the same software like the ones you describe. That is actually a large gain. I'm already paying attention as I'm driving the car at all times and the software helps me catch things I haven't noticed for some reason. Those features seem really well done as the false positives are not too frequent and just a nuisance but the warnings are often valuable.


Does it have/use emergency braking in case of danger, if you don't use self-driving?


Yes.


Yes but they are phasing out radar in favor of vision-only. Model 3 and Y have been shipping without radar braking for the past few months.


They still do emergency braking regardless of the sensor technology.


The vision-only system has passed all required tests for certification and Tesla themselves consider it to be a much safer system now.
