There are many of such tests in the open. There is even a former Tesla AI engineer that throws objects in front of the car on YouTube, as a demonstration. The results are not glorious at all :| (trying to find the channel back if someone knows). And random public tests too: [VIDEO] This is a basic safety auto-braking. Just feels very wrong to even accept it goes into release.

> It would've still stopped Would it have though? [VIDEO] At this point I can't imagine buying anything Tesla related. Or anything related to Elon Musk for that matter. He's a grifter who has managed to stand on the shoulders of giants and call himself tall.

Compare Waymo[0] with Tesla [1].. These are easily searchable which leads me to question your sincerity in feinting ignorance. [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO]
