Ford BlueCruise crash in Philadelphia kills two, injures one
On March 3, 2024, a Ford Mustang Mach-E operating in hands-free partial automation mode (BlueCruise) collided with stationary vehicles in a work zone on I-95 in Philadelphia.

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.
