If you look at the videos here of a tesla going for a barrier there seems to be about 3 seconds between seeing it's going the wrong way and potential impact. Which is enough time if you're expecting it but not long if it's a surprise https://np.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/b36x27/its_back... (hn https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19443925)

The short time frame to react to unexpected events is why, if you're a driver, your first response to any unexpected stimuli has to be to decelerate while you evaluate the situation. In turn, this is why tailgating is such a dangerous behavior.
