Tesla on autopilot crashes into police car

Another accident in the United States occurred not without the involvement of a Tesla vehicle. This time in Orlando, Florida.

What happened?

Patrol officers parked their vehicle to provide assistance to the driver whose car had broken down. It is noted that the stop was made as required.

Some time later, a Tesla crashed into the left side of the patrol vehicle. But the car didn't stop and hit the broken car, the driver of which was assisted by the patrolmen. As a result of the accident, the drivers of the Tesla and the broken car were injured. The patrol officers were not injured.

The accident culprit shifts all the blame to the work of automatic piloting system. So far, his words can neither be proved nor disproved. We would like to notice that drivers often blame autopilot in such cases. Besides, during investigation it often becomes clear that their words are not true.
