1482582 2021-12-03 19:26:00 I found the story a little amusing, the way the driver tells it makes it sound like the car had an accident all by itself.
"While driving southbound on I 65 in West Lafayette Indiana on October 15th at approximately 5 AM my car hydroplaned while in auto pilot hitting the left median cement barrier with my front driver side bumper then sliding to the side of the road

Instead of admitting he was driving too fast in wet conditions and hit a patch of water, which would be my guess. The auto pilot is immaterial except to make it seem like it wasn't the drivers fault :)

Those battery fires are concerning, but it is a relatively rare event and not likely to be a problem with newer battery technologies as they emerge. If I am ever lucky enough to drive a Tesla I must remember to try and not have a life threatening accident in it :p

There have been a few crashes caused by the 'self drive' mode and at least 1 death .
Its hard to believe the US allowed that in cars , given all the other safety features required by law .

pretty scary stuff
