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.

    It doesn’t increase the total volume of crashes per mile driven. Humans are shitty drivers, the bar is low. We’ve heard ad nauseum about the name of FSD. It’s a truth in advertising issue snd idiotic driver issue. Not safety.
