I don't think what he describes fits "full self driving" - I would have expected autopilot to handle it OK.

That said I didn't realise autopilot is only intended for highways and freeways. Maybe that's not explicit enough?

That's the exact reason a German court barred them from using that very label last year in advertising material. They need to start calling it what it is, driving assistance.

I wouldn't expect "driving assistance" to slam on the brakes abruptly like that either.
