Tesla Autopilot: Model S That Hit 5 Cars Started Itself, Owner Says

According to a local report in Belgium, an owner of a Tesla Model S claimed it started on its own, without a driver, and drove into five other cars in the municipality of Saint-Gilles, Brussels. The article said the strange journey, explained by the owner to the police, met its end with a Dacia Logan across the street. It is unclear if there were any injuries and as to what the extent of damages were. This comes on the back of the fact that on Tuesday morning a Tesla Model S running on Autopilot mode crashed into a parked police vehicle in Laguna Beach, California, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. Laguna Police Sgt. Jim Cota explained the collision happened at 20652 Laguna Canyon Road and said "Thankfully there was not an officer at the time in the police car."
