Tesla's Autopilot system is in the spotlight at a Miami trial over a student killed while stargazing
Lawyers for the plaintiff argue that Tesla's driver-assistance feature called Autopilot should have warned the driver and braked when his Model S sedan blew through flashing red lights, a stop sign and a T-intersection at nearly 70 miles an hour in the April 2019 crash. Tesla lays the blame solely on the driver, who was reaching for a dropped cell phone.

Tesla driver arrested after crashing into power pole in Abbotsford
The Abbotsford Police Department shared this photo of a Tesla whose driver was arrested for dangerous driving on Aug. 1, 2025. A speeding Tesla driver was arrested after crashing into a power pole in Abbotsford, according to authorities. Officers spotted the vehicle 'travelling at dangerously high speeds' just after midnight Friday but 'briefly lost sight' of the car when it rounded a corner, the Abbotsford Police Department said in a social media post. Moments later, police came upon the crash scene. 'The 21-year-old driver was arrested at the scene for dangerous driving and is now facing a court date. Two passengers were detained but later released. Fortunately, no injuries were reported,' the social media post said, adding it was lucky no one was injured. The crash knocked out power to hundreds in the area overnight and prompted a lengthy road closure, police added. A conviction for the Criminal Code offence of dangerous driving can result in fines or jail time, depending on the circumstances of the case.
