Tesla Crash in Sydney Raises Autopilot Concerns

News summary

A Tesla Model S was involved in a dramatic crash at the DFO shopping centre in Homebush, Sydney, after colliding with three cars and driving off a carpark ledge, landing in a loading dock. The accident, which occurred shortly before 10 am on Saturday, resulted in chest injuries for the 59-year-old male driver and his 68-year-old female passenger, who were hospitalized. There is ongoing investigation by NSW Police to determine whether the crash was due to driver error or a malfunction in Tesla's Autopilot system. This incident adds to the scrutiny Tesla faces, as its Autopilot feature has been linked to several fatal crashes previously. No other injuries were reported, and the vehicle's electronic systems will be examined as part of the investigation. Meanwhile, a separate incident in Pelham Manor involved a Tesla bursting into flames after a crash, though details on casualties remain undisclosed.
