A Tesla driver was horrified to see another Tesla vehicle burst into flames after hitting a highway barrier in Los Angeles. The Tesla that was engulfed in flames was reportedly on Autopilot at the time of the crash.
Josh Kaplan was driving his Tesla Model X on a Los Angeles freeway last month when he saw another Tesla ahead of him was stopped on the highway. As he got closer, he noticed smoke coming from the vehicle.
“In the time it took me to call 911, it caught fire,” Kaplan said, adding that it “kind of looked like sparklers going off.” The sparkler effect was likely caused by individual sells within the battery exploding individually as the cells around them became superheated. “That was just before, the car turned from an inside of a double-turn lane into the outside lane despite there being other vehicles already occupying that space,” he added.
“The user interface would often display a blank screen when the software crashes or the system doesn’t update that some basic functions, including navigation voice being turned off instead of the previous setting,” Kaplan added of the system.
