Traffic accidents involving Tesla

Traffic accidents involving Tesla cars always attract special attention. So it is this time in the case of the incident that happened in Orlando, Florida.

It often happens that drivers and the public blame Autopilot for a traffic accident, often without solid evidence. Such a case happened in Florida where Tesla’s Model 3 crashed into a stopped police vehicle. To make matters worse, the accident happened at a time when Tesla Motors was under investigation by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration due to previous similar accidents.

According to the information, Tesla crashed into another stopped vehicle after hitting a police car. Due to the force of the impact, the front right wheel of the Tesla and the left wheel of the police car fell off. Two people were injured in the accident, the driver of Tesla and the driver of another car that the police officer was helping to start the vehicle.

According to the AP, the driver said that the Autopilot was on at the time of the accident. Is that true, we do not know, but in most cases these statements were false.

Autopilot is standard equipment of Tesla, and FSD (Full Self-Driving) is also offered. The price of FSD is $ 10,000, and U.S. subscribers have a monthly payment option of $ 199.

The investigation will show whether the driver or Tesla’s Autopilot is responsible for the accident. Most of these situations resulted in the guilt of the drivers, although they claimed otherwise.

The video shows a group of young girls stopping traffic in a Mercedes E-Class and dancing with a bottle of champagne in their hands. The incident angered other drivers on a very busy road who called the police who arrested the participants in the event.

A police report states that the participants in the event, due to illegal actions, caused a traffic jam. Police confiscated the Mercedes, and the 21-year-old driver was fined 50,000 Lek ( $482 or €410 ). To make matters worse, the driver did not have a driver’s license, so the investigation will be extended to the person who gave her the car.

This is not the only case, because recently the police initiated proceedings against the drivers of Audi, BMW and Range Rover for stopping traffic and playing loud music.
