The Tesla driver who rear-ended a parked police car while on Autopilot was cited for reckless driving and reckless endangerment. The driver reportedly told police he was checking on his dog in the backseat.
Autopilot enables Tesla vehicles to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within their lanes, and move into different lanes. However, Tesla says the system still requires "active driver supervision,". Incidents such as this one renew concerns that Tesla is not serious about enforcing safe use of the feature.
The driver was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and reckless endangerment, police said. No one was injured in the incident, though photos posted by police on Facebook show substantial damage done to the Tesla and the police car.
