> Highway Patrol Lt PV Riordan told the portal that the authorities are looking into whether the automated features were involved in the crash. The report further suggests that previous autopilot-related crashes were linked to the Teslas' cameras being confused by flashing lights and reflectors on stopped emergency vehicles
A bit disingenuous to say that they dont know if the autopilot or any automated feature was involved AT ALL, and then proceed to insinuate that teslas cameras and autopilot are so bad, they might as well be responsible.
The prior history is a rationale for why one might investigate whether it is involved.
Most news stories will mention any prior notable incidents impacting the subject they’re talking about even if it is not yet determined if they are connected.

Oddly, NHTSA and others have noted that Fool Self Driving will cut itself off in case of impact or an accident, sometimes only a second before impact. Tesla can also kick drivers off of FSD Beta for opaque reasons, including for being a journalist. Several experts and users have noted the many flaws and errors with FSD.
Weird.
I for one don't appreciate being part of their testing program on public roads with drivers who take "Full Self Driving" at name value.
I'm not going to claim to know how weird driver error can be - but if you look at the image of the crash scene it is extremely unusual. Would require very rapid accelerating in a parking lot and very high speeds.
