Sorry, I meant not to exceed 1.5 times of the posted speed limit.1.5 times of what distance?
The safe distance still should be judged by a "2-second rule" or any other reasonable method, no tailgating.

The other day, a plastic bag blown across the freeway. I just keep on going but how would a machine know it's a plastic bag vs a small child?
But for me, I'll take the indicator that happened to me yesterday afternoon while I was driving along Rainier Avenue, heading downtown to get a haircut.
I stopped at a light and a group of four gangly middle-school boys from St. Anthony School down the block crossed in front of me, until they saw the car. Their eyes lit up. "Hey, Tesla ! Model 3, man !".
One of them kissed his fingers and touched them to the hood emblem. Another came to my window and tried to talk me into taking them for a ride. The others rolled their eyes at their buddies, but started walking backwards across the busy street to admire the car.
These kids were Somali; the accent is distinct even in kids who have been speaking English for a few years. Odds are good they learned to walk in Mogadishu, a city notable for its lack of roofs, let alone roads.
And what they find cool and desirable and worthy of oohs and aahs... is a battery-powered electric sedan built in California.
But for now, I'm sticking with my motto on the matter:
"Get in."
What mistakes did he make?
Other car makes can choose, if they want, under sale Tesla. They also still have a lot to learn about making a car that everyday Joe would want.
that's legal here in WA.
