In an accident report, a Tesla driver says Full-Self Driving was responsible for an eight-car pileup on Thanksgiving Day.
The report states that California Highway Patrol reviewed videos that showed the Tesla changing lanes and then slowing to a stop on November 24, which happened to be Thanksgiving.
The car was traveling at about 55 miles per hour when it shifted into the far left lane on Interstate 80 and braked abruptly, slowing down to about 20 miles per hour. A series of vehicles traveling at normal highway speeds ended up crashing into that Tesla and then one another as a result. Four ambulances were called to the scene, and two lanes of traffic were closed for an hour and a half as the vehicles and their passengers were removed.
It’s worth noting that California Highway Patrol wasn’t able to confirm if Full Self-Driving was active when the accident occurred, as the driver claimed, but a patrol spokesperson toldalso points out that the accident occurred hours after Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted the following tweet celebrating the wide release of the Full Self-Driving Beta:
Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have bought this option.
