Does my driving look OK in this video?

I almost hit a bicycle rider:

He was riding the wrong way at night with no lights.

You did nothing wrong.

My Tesla Automatic Emergency Braking did not even detect the bicyclist.

I did see the bicyclist and swerved slightly at the last second. My Tesla did not detect the bicyclist.

"Tesla's Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) uses cameras and sensors to detect objects, applying brakes to reduce collision severity, typically operating between 5 km/h and 200 km/h. It is active by default, providing visual/chime warnings, and can detect cars, pedestrians, and cyclists. It may not prevent all collisions and can be overridden by heavy steering or acceleration.

That cyclist wasn’t visible. I couldn’t see that you did anything wrong!

Close call. Did you signal your right turn?

Yes, I always use my turn signals.

No Lights, and going against traffic.

I also see bicycles with no brakes.

Some homeless people put together bicycles from a bunch of old used parts. They can't afford brakes. They drag their feet on the ground to stop.

Most are stolen bikes.
