Another Week And Another Telsa Autopilot Crash - This Time The Owner Was Cleaning The Dash Rather Than Driving

Aside from the tragic fatal accident in a Tesla Model S on Autopilot in May, almost every driver involved and the subsequent accidents on Autopilot admitted that they were not paying attention or were not ready to take over control at the time of the crash when using Tesla’s advanced driver assist features.

The driver in the recent fender-bender in China admitted that he was looking at his phone during the crash and now we learn of another accident, which happened in Texas earlier this month, and the driver says that he reached into his glovebox and was cleaning his dash during the crash.

What's the sense of having autopilot if you can't clean your dash?

@MD: looks like you have a following of your own. Maybe you guys can form your own church then commit mass suicide and help improve the human race gene pool. You can also take those equally stupid Tesla drivers for all I care.

@HenryN you flatter me. If for a second I thought the idiots of the world followed me, I would mandate 100% Tesla ownership and 100% reliance on autopilot.

That would rid the world of idiots, but not me, though I will miss you. :)

@MD: you can pretend to be the village chief for a day and follow through with my suggestion. It's liberating to know that you have something of value to contribute - even for a day.

Mattie, if your marry HenryN your family would finally have a dad instead of a pathetic loser. No wonder you are estranged from your wife and kids and your fathered in law has removed you from the business giving you more time for men's rooms exploits and time on Auto Spies.
