Horrifying moment Tesla crashes into truck in what seems to be Autopilot failure
The moment a Tesla Model 3 car crashed into an overturned truck has been caught on camera, in what seems to be an Autopilot failure.
The crash took place on Taiwan’s National Highway 1 this week, and saw a Tesla crash into the roof of an overturned truck trailer.
Thankfully, no-one was hurt in the crash, although the Tesla was severely damaged, and appears to be covered in a brown liquid.
While it remains unclear whether the Tesla was in Autopilot mode during the incident, news reports from Taiawanese media indicate that this is the case.
One report explained: “The Fourth Highway Police Brigade said that driving Tesla was a 53-year-old man named Huang, who claimed to have turned on the vehicle assist system at the time.
“It was thought that the vehicle would detect an obstacle and slow down or stop, but the car still moved at a fixed speed, so when the brakes were to be applied at the last moment, it would be too late to cause a disaster.”
