I don’t know if any car is going to override the driver when their foot is to the floor on the pedal.
that’s literally how collision detection works
it force brakes
the problem is tesla cheaps out on the sensor suite to save money
Your car would not stop you flying off the road into a house while you have your foot to the floor and going 75mph.
the car can indeed make a difference braking at 75mph
It wouldn’t prevent an accident like this.
