    Even without the fanboys justifications, what did this test prove that the others didn’t, since it didn’t mimic a real world scenario like the tests where the tesla demolished the kid? I’ve driven through fog and lights and heavy rain, but have yet to encounter an unexpected Wile E Cayote wall in the road.

      The absurd test was mostly for the spectacle/views. Sometimes science is doing wacky things because we’re curious to find the limits.

      Someone else mentioned a blue truck at the crest of hill was invisible to the system, resulting in a crash. That’s probably the closest to Wile E scenerio you’re going to get.
