A Tesla was in its self-driving mode when it crashed into a parked patrol vehicle responding to a fatal crash in Orange County Thursday morning, police said.
The officer was on traffic control duty blocking Orangethorpe Avenue in Fullerton for an investigation into a suspected DUI crash that left a motorcyclist dead around 9 p.m. Wednesday when his vehicle was struck.
A Fullerton Police Department spokesperson said the officer was standing outside his vehicle around midnight when he saw a Tesla driving in his direction and not slowing down.
That must have been SO scary for the cop! He wouldn’t know whether to shoot the car or the passenger!
Must have been a white Tesla. If it was a black one, it would have been a no brainer.
So my Tesla is pink. I guess the cop would’ve thrown a flashbang.
Or a rubber bullet to your face.
