Tesla Autopilot suspected in two fatal motorcycle crashes
In July 2022, two motorcyclists were killed in separate crashes involving Teslas suspected of using Autopilot. Both crashes occurred at night and involved cruiser motorcycles with low-set taillights. A theory suggests that Tesla's camera-only system, Tesla Vision, may have misidentified the close-together taillights as distant car headlights, leading to the collisions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating both incidents.

Tesla Model S on Autopilot crashes into stationary van on Swiss highway
A Tesla Model S owner in Switzerland was using the car's Autopilot and Adaptive Cruise Control on a highway when the system failed to detect a stationary van after the preceding vehicle changed lanes. The car accelerated slightly and collided with the van, causing front-end damage that required replacement of parts including a parking sensor and a steel beam. The driver acknowledged they could have reacted sooner but had grown to trust the system after many successful trips. Tesla's manual warns that the system may not brake for stationary vehicles in such situations.
