This is an odd police report, as it shows the police did a mental and physical health check and then “allowed” self-driving.
Officers were dispatched at 8:20 a.m. to a suspicious activity call at 619 Field Ave. … Police arrived and spoke to the suspect, a 75-year-old Hudson man, who appeared confused and disoriented. He claimed he was meeting a realtor but then changed his story, stating he was simply looking at real estate. His inconsistent statements raised concerns about his mental state. He had a large bruise on his left eye; he said he had a recent head injury, which was visible as a shiner on his face. He claimed he had bumped his head on a dock. EMS responded to evaluate him; after trying to contact his wife and not reaching her, police allowed him to head home using the self-driving feature of his Tesla.
It makes about as much sense as telling someone to delete their social media apps when they are the victim of common fraud.
At 10 a.m., a man reported being scammed by people trying to hire him over WhatsApp and Telegram. He claimed $30 had disappeared from his account. He was advised to stop responding and to delete the apps.
Hello, police, my house was robbed. What’s that you say, destroy my house? Where will I go? What do you mean I can just let a Tesla decide?
