Driver says he slept on FSD before hitting a CHP car — 2 officers hurt
A Tesla struck a CHP patrol car at a crash scene on I-80 in Fairfield, seriously injuring two officers; the 22-year-old driver reportedly told investigators he was asleep on FSD — a fresh flashpoint in the FSD accountability debate.
Electrek reports two California Highway Patrol officers are recovering from serious injuries after a Tesla drove into their patrol car at a crash scene on Interstate 80 in Fairfield.
The 22-year-old driver told investigators he was asleep. The exact FSD status and sequence of events await the official investigation.
FSD is a supervised system that requires an attentive driver. A September stop in Solano County also involved a driver asleep with FSD engaged, so scrutiny of driver monitoring is likely to continue.
