I mean, my laptop is designed to detect a fall and park the hard drive automatically to avoid damage. But if I throw it off a cliff, it&#x27;s probably still going to get damaged, and the Western Digital is going to laugh at my warranty claim. Because the software worked as designed, I just ignored the limitations and took the hardware outside of the design spec. Yes, the hard drive can protect against falls, up to a certain amount of G forces. Yes the Tesla can move itself around stationary objects, within the limitations of where the sensors can read.<p>I think you need to reevaluate your definition of &quot;as designed&quot;. Because it&#x27;s pretty clear that the Tesla was not designed to avoid this collision. It&#x27;s not a software failure.
