Tesla Driver Watching Movie While Using Autopilot Crashes Into Cop Car Because Autopilot Doesn't Really Drive, Dummy
Somehow Autopilot not only steered the car off the road, but directly into a parked police car with lights on. This is not the sort of mistake most human drivers would make. If the driver was using Autopilot properly—as in paying attention and not watching a ####ing movie while he’s supposed to be driving—this would not have happened.

Ok, so obviously the guy shouldn't have been watching a movie. But the bigger problem is that the car drove straight into a parked police cruiser with flashing lights. What kind of programming is going on there that makes the vehicle do that? I can't even get my head around it. Did it think the lights were a flashing portal the enter? Why would it aim for an object? If it didn't see it at all, then why would it leave the lane it was traveling in?
