News today a self driving Tesla drives into the back of a vehicle.
I hope it wasn’t a motorcycle.
More info:
A Tesla driver with a blood alcohol level nearly double the legal limit claimed his electric vehicle was in self-driving mode when it slammed into the back of a parked firetruck in California.
The car was driving, the man told the highway patrol Monday morning. The driver explained that his Tesla electric vehicle “had been set on autopilot,” allowing him to sit in a drunken stupor while the car transported him to his destination.
The excuse didn’t work. He was ultimately arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the California Highway Patrol. Local officials did not identify the man, but they say it is never permitted to be drunk behind the wheel.
“News today a self driving Tesla drives into the back of a vehicle.”
Well, they said it was “self driving,” not “self stopping.”
