Video shows Tesla abruptly stop, cause 8-car crash after Musk announced self-driving feature: report

Salon  

New footage of a crash involving a Tesla Model S has been released just hours after billionaire business mogul Elon Musk announced new technological advancements for the auto manufacturer's self-driving features. Speaking to police, the driver of the vehicle stated he "had been using Tesla's new 'Full Self-Driving' feature, the report notes, before the Tesla's 'left signal activated' and its 'brakes activated,' and it moved into the left lane, 'slowing to a stop directly in path of travel.'" "Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have bought this option," Musk tweeted. Tesla vehicles using its Autopilot driver assistance system — Full Self-Driving mode has an expanded set of features atop Autopilot — were involved in 273 known crashes from July 2021 to June of last year."
