In a further blow to both automaker Tesla and the burgeoning self-driving car movement, a Tesla Model S was found yesterday to have collided with a parked police vehicle in southern California.
The police cruiser, owned by the Laguna Beach Police Department, was apparently ‘totaled’ by the incident, as reported by the Los Angeles Times - though the officer in charge of the cruiser was not inside at the time. The Tesla driver, on the other hand, sustained minor injuries after engaging the sedan’s ‘autopilot’ mode went awry.
