Doesn’t look like he was on autopilot.

I use autopilot as much as possible but sometimes I'll put on just the cruise control on then forget that is not autopilot and find myself drifting out on my lane. I wonder if that's what happened here.

That’s going to be ugly....left side damage will cost $$$$. Wonder what happened? My guess....texting.....no hands on wheel....Blue AP flash and Autopilot disengaged while still texting. Drifted into wall assuming AP was engaged. Then their wake up call. But who knows...glad they’re ok.

I've done the same. Looks like that might have happened here.

this has happened to me, but never to the point where any part of my car leaves my lane. You really have to have your eyes off the road for something like that (in the video) to happen.

surprised the anti collision stuff didn't kick in

 

[redgt]

that center divide saved some lives

Remember, a lot of people don't buy the Autopilot feature.

OMG I feel for that Model 3 owner. Very happy he/she was okay but that had to have been so scary when they hit the wall. Would not want to see what the side of their car looked like. The lane line when they deviated towards the center divider looked clear and unbroken so would agree not on EAP.

 

[redgt]

also the driver did the safest thing by continuing

there was no place to stop there

hopefully they didn't have white seats lol

Drivers like that is how Tesla can claim Autopilot is 7x safer than humans!

Tough, but yeah AP was likely not engaged as lines are clearly marked.

And they say AP is bad at staying between the lines.

If they did I imagine there is a new one off brown interior available on a cheap model 3 with some small stuff that should buff out on the drivers side.

Ouch! Makes me cringe watching this accident

If you're gonna be dumb, you'd better be tough.
