Nine people were injured in the accident. Two were hospitalized. The highway was closed for an hour and a half.
The Tesla on autopilot has caused a major accident. The electric car suddenly changed lanes and braked right on the highway. As a result, eight vehicles collided. This is stated in the plot of the channel FOX2 San Francisco.
The culprit of the accident was the Tesla Model S. The accident occurred in San Francisco. The driver said that the cause of the accident was the strange actions of the autopilot. Specifically, the Full Self-Driving autonomous driving technology.
The accident happened in a tunnel on the bay coast, when an electric car was driving along the highway on autopilot at a speed of about 90 km/h. The car suddenly changed lanes and braked suddenly, reducing the speed to 30 km/h.
Naturally, the drivers of other cars did not expect such a maneuver and crashed into the Tesla. So an eight-vehicle traffic jam was formed.
So far, police have no confirmation that Tesla’s autopilot was activated, so an investigation is underway.
Recall that a nine-year-old child driving a Tesla quickly flew into another car, after which his car was thrown onto the grass.
