Tesla is in the news again due to a crash involving the company's self-driving software. According to reports, a Tesla on Autopilot this past Saturday just so happened to crash into a Florida police car. The driver of the Tesla, who is disabled, experienced minor injuries. The Florida state trooper, however, suffered no injuries. Details surrounding the incident are still emerging, but it's no surprise that the story is already garnering a lot of attention.
Even though Teslas are statistically safer than other vehicles, any incident or accident involving a Tesla tends to make national headlines. This can likely be attributed to the larger-than-life personality that is Elon Musk. If Tesla, for example, issued a recall for every vehicle it ever sold -- similar to what recently happened with the Chevy Bolt -- the story would dominate the headlines. Additionally, because many people still distrust Tesla's Autopilot software, any story involving an Autopilot crash understandably attracts attention.
