Tesla Driver Killed After Plowing Into Fire Truck Parked On California Freeway

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — A Tesla driver was killed and a passenger was critically injured Saturday when the car plowed into a fire truck that was parked on a Northern California freeway to shield a crew clearing another accident, fire officials said.

Four firefighters who were in the truck when it was struck on Interstate 680 were treated for minor injuries, said Tracie Dutter, assistant chief of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.The driver was declared dead at the scene, Dutter said. The car needed to be cut open to remove the passenger, who was taken to the hospital.

The Model S was among the nearly 363,000 vehicles Tesla recalled on Thursday because of potential flaws in its “Full Self-Driving” system. While the recall is aimed at correcting possible problems at intersections and with speed limits, it comes amid a broader investigation by U.S. safety regulators into Tesla’s automated driving systems.

Nothing to see here

Sounds like Texas 2.0. Stop jumping to conclusions.

Was the driver sleeping at the time?

So the guy behind this, can be trusted with Governance of AI, the legality of free speech, and keeping people alive travelling to and from another planet…. Sure.

That’s like saying Apple or Samsung recalled all their phones because of a software issue. I have FSD on my Y and have never had these issues. You still have to pay attention and be the one in control. Certainly it can’t be harder to say ‘software update’ instead of recall Just a “over the air” software update, nothing to worry 💪.
