The shocking toll of Tesla’s Autopilot: 17 fatalities, 736 crashes
Tesla’s driver-assistance system, known as Autopilot, has been involved in far more crashes than previously reported.
The school bus was displaying its stop sign and flashing red warning lights, a police report said, when Tillman Mitchell, 17, stepped off one afternoon in March. Then a Tesla Model Y approached on North Carolina Highway 561.
The car – allegedly in Autopilot mode – never slowed down.
