A Tesla Model S that was involved in a road traffic collision while set to autopilot mode earlier this month accelerated just prior to the crash, a police assessment report has revealed.
The incident, which occurred on May 11 in South Jordan, Utah, was reported by the local police department at the time. Officials said that the driver—named as Heather Lommatzsch—hit a vehicle belonging to the Fire Authority and had been looking at her phone in the minutes before impact.
