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.
Well yeah, but it seems likely in this case the accelerator was being floored, dunno for how long. So much as I hate to give tesla a pass, they’re probably not really at fault here unless new info appears.
My kid tried to drive it into a hedge and it wouldn’t let them. Not the same as accelerating from across the road at a house but also the car makes no self driving claims.
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.

Well the driver now claims he passed out, so the Tesla definitely isn’t at fault.
And what if you were doing 70mph for a few hundred meters before the house?
You’d be going right into that house. No car will stop that.
Did you try it?

You may as well say you want people banned from driving then. We use “cameras” for object detection.
lol
Do you disagree? Do you understand how we perceive depth?
Do you understand that the whole point of self driving cars is to not have humans with eyes and depth perception doing the driving?
Computers can’t even reliably differentiate between B and 8.
It’s to not have humans doing the driving, so people don’t have to drive. It has nothing to do with the biology/mechanics of how we see.
