I like how the oblivious person in the minivan doesn't even seem to react.

You mean the Grand Cherokee? Couldn't go right, there's a barrier. Brake lights came on - but not the CHMSL, because it's a WJ with WJ wiring.
In reply to Keith Tanner:
They were already slowing down because of the lane shift and entrance to the construction zone. (And yes, I meant the Grand Cherokee. It's a minivan. Useless as a truck, mainly used for shuffling groceries and stuff.)
I will allow that tis incident answers one of the questions I've long had about any kind of automated driving, namely how well they handle the car's handling being compromised. Despite obviously dragging a tire, the car stayed in its lane. Color me suitably impressed.
You can see the brake lights come on in the WJ in reaction to mister Tesla hitting the wall. The nose dips pretty much immediately as he matches the decel of the crippled robot. I think you have to give the driver some credit. Since you've seen it on loop 100 times you're anticipating the hit, but nobody else was.
I've towed vehicles across the country and over the Rockies plus driven over multiple high mountain passes off-road in our WJ. Not a minivan. For one, it's nowhere NEAR space efficient enough 
But it does Jeep things well, plus not beating you up in the way to the trail.
