I think that's unlikely, but you could take it up with Mr Musk.

If you take that attitude that the car is actually aggressively trying to mow you down, you stand a far better chance of surviving the jungle of our roads. Eye contact and a smile go a long ways too, but that is hard, facing your potential killer like that, sometimes.
