I want vehicles that rely on cameras for detecting obstacles to be banned.

Anything that uses reasonable object detection methods should be banned if it lets you drive into a house. My Kia won't let me drive into a house.

    Honestly curious, what will your Kia do if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away? I have no idea how my BYD would react and I'm not eager to test it. It has emergency braking, but I don't know how effective that actually is.

    I don't know for sure and I can't think of a good way to test. It certainly wouldn't hit it when "driving itself" with smart cruise control or if I tried to drive into it from a few metres away.
