A police officer had to run out of the way to avoid getting hit as the Tesla didn't even slow down.
A Tesla in “self-driving” mode slammed into an unoccupied police car during the early morning hours of Thursday, according to the Fullerton Police Department. No one was injured in the crash, but bodycam footage shows a police officer sprinting out of the way to avoid getting hit. The officer in the footage was managing traffic in Fullerton at the intersection of W. Orangethorpe Ave. and Courtney Ave.
The person behind the wheel of the Tesla has not been named, but police say he admitted to being on his cellphone during the crash, according to KTLA. The local TV news station aired footage of the aftermath, showing the wrecked Tesla and the police vehicle. The name of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving feature was recently changed to Full Self-Driving , in an attempt to make it clear that drivers should not rely on the technology to keep them safe from crashes.
