A Tesla on Autopilot rear-ended a parked police car, renewing safety concerns

Isn't this similar to other Tesla AP accidents where it's a standing vehicle/object that isn't detected because it isn't moving. Something to do with using radar?

Is this still an ongoing problem for Tesla or is this a one-off thing where maybe AP was on, maybe it wasn't and the driver is blaming the AP (that AP excuse came up in my linked article when it was just bad driving)?

Musk and Tesla have spoken about this numerous times before, but the correct mode of viewing autopilot is how the police department framed it:

> "Regardless of your vehicles capabilities, when operating a vehicle your full attention is required at all times to ensure safe driving."

Recall that autopilot in a commercial airplane is meant to assist the pilot and co-pilot, not to replace them. That is precisely how you should view autopilot in Tesla vehicles.
