Tesla driver says he was asleep and using FSD when he crashed into highway patrol cars

• A Tesla driver claimed he was asleep and using the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system when he crashed into highway patrol cars, causing injuries to two officers. The crash occurred on I-80 and involved the use of flares, cones, and emergency lights.
• The California Highway Patrol emphasized that FSD does not eliminate a driver's responsibility and that the technology does not fully replace human oversight. The incident highlights the ongoing concerns about the safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems.
• NHTSA investigated Tesla’s Autopilot software and found that it did not adequately keep drivers engaged, contributing to several crashes and deaths. Tesla updated its system in 2023 with additional controls and alerts, but NHTSA later reopened the investigation to ensure these changes were sufficient.
