Tesla autopilot crash in South Brunswick earns driver ticket

A Tesla operating on autopilot crashed into a parked minivan in a South Brunswick driveway, resulting in a ticket for the driver. The vehicle veered off the road to avoid a potential collision. The incident occurred Monday afternoon after the Tesla, likely sensing an oncoming SUV, turned into a driveway. The impact shattered the minivan's back window and pushed it into a garage, narrowly missing the homeowner. The driver, despite using autopilot, was cited for careless driving, as they are ultimately responsible for the vehicle's operation. The Tesla sustained minor damage in the incident.
