Description of the problem | Autopilot safety hazard creating a crash with me and my son. On july 25th, 2016 at 4:30am i was involved in a accident with my tesla model x 2016 within 3 weeks of ownership. The road was wide open with only a few cars and great condition for autopilot, we entered in a construction zone without any construction occurring at the time. Per the picture attached you will see that there is 2 yellow lanes, but the tesla detected on autopilot only the farthest closest to the guardrail making the car driving straight to the have duty construction cones. The road was in good condition and acceptable to activate autopilot. Airbags was not deployed. |
