Tesla Autopilot Claims Another Victim

The Laguna Beach PD is reporting that a Tesla sedan crashed into one of its parked cruisers while it was being driven using the Tesla Autopilot system. The officer in the cruiser was not injured, but the driver/rider in the Tesla got a bit banged up. From the looks of it, the Tesla handled the impact quite well while the rear driver’s side suspension of the cruiser was totally ripped off. That was a pretty good hit judging from how far the SUV was pushed forward. Just a reminder folks, Autopilot is not really an “autopilot.”



This morning a Tesla sedan driving outbound Laguna Canyon Road in “autopilot” collides with a parked @LagunaBeachPD unit. Officer was not in the unit at the time of the crash and minor injuries were sustained to the Tesla driver.
