A lot of modern cruise control systems will match the speed of the car in front of you and stop if they stop. They'll also keep the car in the current lane. And even without cruise control, most modern cars will stop if a pedestrian steps onto the road.
It's frustrating that Tesla's system can't detect a stationary police car in the middle of the road... but at the same time apparently that's quite a difficult thing to do and it's not unique to Tesla.
It's honestly not too much to ask a driver to step on the brakes if there's a cop car stopped on the road.
It's actually not that hard to do, but Tesla is not willing to spend the necessary time and resources to solve the hard problems.
