A driver told authorities that their Tesla's 'full-self-driving' software braked unexpectedly on Thanksgiving, triggering an eight-car injury accident on the Bay Bridge.
The multi-vehicle holiday collision on the span in the eastbound direction led to nine people being treated for minor injuries including one juvenile who was hospitalized, according to a California Highway Patrol traffic crash report.
California Highway Patrol said in the Dec. 7 report that it could not confirm if"full self-driving" was active at the time of the crash. A highway patrol spokesperson told CNN Business on Wednesday that it would not determine if"full self-driving" was active, and Tesla would have that information. "Full self-driving" is designed to keep up with traffic, steer in the lane and abide by traffic signals. It requires an attentive human driver prepared to take full control of the car at any moment. It's delighted some drivers but also alarmed others with its limitations.
