If you carefully watch the video from TeslaCam, thenyou can see that the Tesla car veered to the right to avoid contact with the wheel. According to the driver, at that time he was not responsible for driving the electric car, but the automatic piloting system.

Tesla cars have features foravoid or reduce the consequences of collisions. For example, Automatic Emergency Braking. However, there were doubts that the system was capable of avoiding small objects. As you can see, it is still capable, if the driver is telling the truth, and his electric car was really controlled by an autopilot.

The KIA driver was not injured.
