"My Tesla Was Driving" is the new "My Dog Ate My Homework"

#tesla #accident

On October 15, 2025 a South Barrington Police Department squad car was struck by a Tesla that was being operated in autopilot mode. Fortunately, the two South Barrington officers involved did not sustain serious injuries as a result of the crash. The driver of the Tesla admitted to falling asleep while the vehicle was on autopilot. The individual was subsequently arrested and charged with several violations by the Barrington Hills Police Department, who is handling the investigation. The South Barrington Police Department would like to remind all motorists that while the use of vehicle automation systems such as autopilot is not illegal, drivers are still required to remain alert and attentive at all times. Vehicle technology can assist drivers, but it does not replace the need for human attention and judgment behind the wheel. “Technology continues to evolve and can enhance safety when used properly,” said Deputy Chief Puralewski. “However, it’s important to remember that drivers are still responsible for the safe operation of their vehicles at all times.” The South Barrington Police Department urges all drivers to stay focused, avoid distractions, and maintain control of their vehicles to help keep our roads safe for everyone.
