Tesla on FSD Hits Police Car, Two Officers Seriously Hurt

KEY FACTS

The Tesla driver fell asleep after activating FSD.
The vehicle drove into a closed lane and slammed into a police car.
The crash left two California patrol officers seriously injured.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

If a driver can fall asleep under assisted driving, the system's monitoring of driver state still has gaps. The crash struck a police car inside a closed lane, which may push regulators to re-examine FSD's safety boundaries and liability allocation.
