Meh. Just a minor glitch...

A Tesla using its partially automated driving system slammed into a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser Saturday on an interstate near downtown Orlando and narrowly missed its driver, who had pulled over to assist a disabled vehicle. 

Earlier this month, the U.S. government opened a formal investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot driving system after a series of similar collisions with parked emergency vehicles.

  1. Autopilot is illegal and immoral in all 50 states. Elon Musk should be charged with murder.

    1. And if I was a peasant like you people here, that might actually happen! It sure sucks being rich and well-connected.

  2. So, we don't have accidents with human piloted vehicles?

  3. Funny!
    I just saw Musk's smiling face announcing the rollout (or, roll over) of the new completely autonomous download.

  4. I guess that on-board radar/infrared/video cam detection system ain't working to well.

    Musk comes across, by his own and his sycophants accolades, as some kind of genius. The only genius he's got is wringing taxpayer dollars out of fed.gov for his "projects". Tesla would have died a deserved death long ago if it wasn't for subsidies. Heard anything lately about his tunnel project? You know the one. The one that is supposed to link LA and SF via a super high speed tunnel through numerous faults linked to the San Andreas. Ya, didn't think so.

    Musk hasn't made a dime on his own since Paypal and won't. Course he's sucking all the right dicks and making BRIBES, oops political contributions, to all the right Senators and CONgress critters, so fed.gov $ will continue to flow.
