Cop narrowly escapes collision with self-driving Tesla wiping out his cruiser

A close call in California as a Tesla in self-driving mode crashes into a police cruiser

On Thursday, a dramatic incident unfolded in Fullerton, California, when a Tesla operating in self-driving mode collided with a police cruiser at the scene of an accident. The officer on duty managed to leap out of harm’s way just in time, narrowly avoiding what could have been a fatal accident.

The driver of the Tesla reportedly admitted to using their phone while the car was in self-driving mode, although it was not specified whether it was Autopilot or Full Self-Driving mode. This is not the first time that Tesla’s self-driving technology has been involved in accidents, prompting investigations by regulatory authorities.

In addition to concerns about safety and performance, there is ongoing debate over the naming of Tesla’s driving modes. Terms like ‚Autopilot‘ and ‚Full Self-Driving‘ have raised questions about potentially misleading consumers regarding the level of autonomy these systems actually provide.

Incidents like this highlight the ongoing challenges and controversies surrounding self-driving technology and its impact on road safety. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story!
