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.

    All I do at night is open my garage door to let my car out. A few months later here I’m a millionaire. Thank you full self driving Roboenron 😍

      Yes I remember that, and then he has repeated every year since, that they will be ready next year. But THIS year he changed his tune somewhat, and claimed it was a matter of months.
      How is this con man not in jail?

          He is very good at what he does, being a con man.
          But I think step one is to be a malignant narcissist, having such an oversized ego and disregard for others, that you actually believe you deserve it.

          Apart from that I can’t really explain it, except IMO the stockholders that gave him that bonus are morons, that let themselves be exploited.
