🌍✨ A second Tesla driver died stopped on a freeway with Autopilot/Self-Driving on

Why we’re watching: Weeks after a Tesla Model 3 sat stopped in a live Florida interstate lane and its driver was killed, it happened again — a 2020 Model 3, stopped dead on a Phoenix-area freeway at 3 a.m., rear-ended by a pickup, its driver dead at the scene.

And as in the Florida case that we revealed today, no one investigating knew what Tesla’s own data shows: the car’s driver-assist system was engaged. 💚

This is part of an ongoing Electrek series matching previously reported Tesla crashes to the company’s own redacted NHTSA data.
