A Tesla was in its self-driving mode when it crashed into a parked patrol vehicle responding to a fatal crash in Orange County Thursday morning, police said.
The officer was on traffic control duty blocking Orangethorpe Avenue in Fullerton for an investigation into a suspected DUI crash that left a motorcyclist dead around 9 p.m. Wednesday when his vehicle was struck.
A Fullerton Police Department spokesperson said the officer was standing outside his vehicle around midnight when he saw a Tesla driving in his direction and not slowing down.

Only needs cameras, no problem.
SLAMS! Oh wait, on this headline it is kind of appropriate.
I mean I live in Orange County, I lived in Fullerton for 10± years.
Every other car in the OC is a Tesla.
My point is that this isn’t an “if” it could happen, as more than a “when” will it happen.
If you read that article and live in the OC anyone would say “yep, sounds like Fullerton”
No one on the driver’s seat?
“Self-driving mode” - you still must supervise it.The spokesperson said that the Tesla was in self-drive mode and the driver admitted to being on a cellphone at the time of the crash.
Not sure where you got that from?
Missed it 👀
Stop selecting police cars if the capthca asks for green traffic lights.
