Tesla Model S on autopilot slammed into a police car because the driver was watching a movie on his phone, authorities say

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.A driver in North Carolina was watching a movie while driving his Tesla Model S when it careened into a police car, authorities said. There have been many past incidents of careless drivers putting too much faith in the driver-assistance software, Autopilot, which has been criticized for its name.

The crash occurred around midnight on a rural stretch of a divided four-lane highway, where the officer was assisting a local sheriff's deputy in responding to a separate crash on the side of the roadway, when the Tesla ploughed into the cars, totaling both. The driver, identified by police as Devainder Goli, a doctor from Raleigh, was charged with violating a state law that says motorists must move over for stopped emergency responders and for watching television while operating a vehicle. He could not be reached for comment."We were doing a simple lane closure and then death's suddenly there at our footsteps,"

. "It shows automation is never going to take the place of our motoring public paying attention, not texting, not being on the phone, but focusing on what you were doing: driving."

Driver crashed car into a police vehicle while watching movie on phone. There. Fixed.

The fact that AP can’t swerve out of the way here is alarming. Seems like a simple job.

And why I will never own anything autopilot. It's bad enough without it, as we see daily on the road.

Here if fixed it “Car slammed into police car because driver was watching a movie on his phone.”

But the looks of where the cars hit I'd say the police are in the wrong, not theTesla

Everyone should know to get out of Tesla owner's way. They have the right away. They are entitled to the entire road, sidewalks, trees, kids playing in the park, etc... You're going to make the owner cry.
