    Amazing it even stopped at all if the car continued on for 500 yards beyond the accident.
    Tho that would not be something I would want to see. Come to a street light with a Tesla beside me, and see a headless torso. Iiick

    Is that a new one, or is that the very first one that was killed by a car that couldn't see a truck.
    The first one was in Florida too and a personal friend of Elon Musk, or what ever his name is.

    A semi on autopilot would have yielded.

    It's probably wrong of me to smile every time one of these pops up, but job security and all...

    The truck pulled out in front of the car?

    It's ok to do that because cars have brakes and they should use them?

    Years of litigation will result from this. Or a class action soon perhaps.
