Tesla reportedly on autopilot system slams into police car parked on side of highway

A Tesla in Autopilot mode crashed Saturday into a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser parked on the side of the road in Orlando. The crash happened while a federal investigation into Tesla's partially automated driving system is underway after nearly a dozen crashes involving emergency responder vehicles. The official police report from the Florida Highway Patrol states an Orlando man stopped his disabled vehicle in the travel lane of the highway. A 28-year-old trooper parked his patrol vehicle, a 2018 Dodge Charger, directly behind the disabled vehicle and activated the Dodge's emergency lights. The trooper then exited the vehicle to assist the driver.
