- Tesla driver told CHP investigators he was asleep with the company's "Full Self-Driving" engaged when the car struck a patrol car at a crash scene on Interstate 80 in Fairfield.
- California Highway Patrol said two of its officers are recovering from serious injuries following the collision, and the agency released dashcam video of the incident.
Why it matters: The crash adds another incident to the record of Tesla's FSD system being used while the driver is reportedly inattentive, and it resulted in serious injuries to two on-duty CHP officers at a roadside crash scene — underscoring the real-world risk of unsupervised use of the driver-assist feature.
