An 87-year-old Wesley Chapel man is dead after a crash involving a Tesla in autopilot mode in Pasco County, Florida Highway Patrol said.
The incident happened shortly after 8 p.m. on May 26, when the man was driving a Tesla Model Y SUV, heading eastbound on Overpass Road in autopilot mode.
FHP said the Tesla left the roadway, struck an electrical box, and continued until it went into a pond, just east of Infinite Drive.
