This is the opposite of that old song by The Crickets, later made famous by The Bobby Fuller Four in '65:

California police pull over a self-driving Waymo for an illegal U-turn, but they can't ticket

AI fought the law, and the AI won.

Tesla faces U.S. auto safety probe after reports FSD ran red lights, caused collisions

As per this article:

"Tesla is facing a federal investigation into possible safety defects with FSD, its partially automated driving system that is also known as Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

Media, vehicle owner and other incident reports to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed that in 44 separate incidents, Tesla drivers using FSD said the system caused them to run a red light, steer into oncoming traffic or commit other traffic safety violations leading to collisions, including some that injured people.

In a notice posted to the agency's website on Thursday, NHTSA said the investigation concerns "all Tesla vehicles that have been equipped with FSD (Supervised) or FSD (Beta)," which is an estimated 2,882,566 of the company's electric cars.

Tesla cars, even with FSD engaged, require a human driver ready to brake or steer at any time."

I can't help but wonder how much it's going to cost Elon the Oligarch to buy his way out of solve this federal government problem.
