Would you put your life in Elon Musk‘s hands? One driver may have, and now they’re picking bits of them out of the tangled wreckage of a Tesla Model 3. A disturbing video from Huzhou, China, taken on May 25, shows a Tesla Model 3 speeding down the road and colliding at full speed with the rear of a stationary semi-truck after making no effort whatsoever to brake.
Subsequent photos show that the front of the car was completely destroyed, and it’s confirmed that the driver was killed. Precise details of what happened are unavailable, but this accident sounds in line with multiple recent reported failures of Tesla’s self-driving mode, which uses cameras rather than the more expensive LIDAR to “see” what’s on the road ahead.
