A Tesla using its “self-drive” mode crashed into a parked police vehicle near Los Angeles, narrowly missing an officer managing traffic at another crash site. The driver admitted to using the automated system and using a cell phone simultaneously. Despite the driver’s claim, it’s unclear if it was Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” or Autopilot system in use. Both systems require driver readiness to take control. The incident highlights ongoing safety concerns as Tesla vehicles have previously collided with emergency vehicles on active duty.
