Yet another Tesla on Autopilot has slammed into an inanimate object.
One of the biggest controversies surrounding Tesla right now is the company’s Autopilot feature that it is included with vehicles and sold to the public as a feature that provides autonomous driving. Critics of the company have been quick to point out that at the Model 3 handover event, Elon Musk basically said that people could “sleep” while in their cars with Autopilot engaged – and as the toll of accidents involving Autopilot continues to accelerate, it is becoming more and more obvious that this isn’t even close to being the case.
