What happened

A police officer recorded video directing traffic in Fullerton, California, USA, following another fatal crash involving a motorcyclist. His car “had its hazard lights on and several marker lights on the road when the blue Tesla crashed into a police car that was blocking traffic,” the report said.

A possible disaster was prevented thanks to the rapid reaction of the police officer and the accompanying police officer who noticed the oncoming vehicle and quickly ran to the roadside.
– was also said in the police report.

The name of the man behind the wheel of the Tesla was not released, but police said he admitted to talking on his cell phone at the time of the crash. A local news channel broadcast footage showing the wrecked Tesla and a police car after the accident.

Local TV channel published a news report containing footage of the accident: video

Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” feature was recently rebranded as “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” to make it clear that drivers don’t need to take their eyes off the road and trust that this technology will protect them. To be protected from accidents by taking over all management completely. But Tesla CEO Elon Musk certainly continues to send mixed messages in that direction, including last Thursday at Tesla’s shareholders meeting in Austin, Texas, where the billionaire talked about how safe the FSD feature is. He had also previously gone live to show how he uses FSD on the road.

Tesla does not comment on this situation. But he will definitely investigate. Especially considering the fact that not so long ago it was under investigation by the American traffic regulator for 11 accidents that occurred in a similar scenario: Tesla’s electric cars for some reason ignored the flashing lights (perhaps the cameras were blinded by them) and doctors crashed into the cars of firefighters and police. It was also claimed that Fully Automatic Driving technology was turned on at the time of the collision.
