Tesla Model S on Autopilot crashes into van parked on highway - Roadshow
Within a week of Tesla releasing Autopilot to the masses last fall, we started seeing some generally scary videos of people putting a little too much trust in the system. Well, we're continuing to see them, and in the latest video we sadly have a proper collision. As spotted on Tech Insider and Electrek, a European Tesla owner was driving their Model S on the highway in Switzerland last week with Tesla's Adaptive Cruise Control engaged. Tesla's ACC and Autopilot systems use a camera and a series of sensors to monitor surrounding traffic and dynamically adjust speed, even coming to a complete stop. The car ahead changed lanes to avoid a stopped van, which was blocking half the lane.
