Another day, another Tesla crashing into a law enforcement vehicle despite flashing lights.

Officials said the officer had his emergency lights on while conducting the traffic break, but that a 2026 Tesla Model Y did not yield to the officer and crashed into him.

This is a 2026 model already showing Tesla will continue crashing into law enforcement like it’s 2016. A pattern emerges of Tesla safety objectively declining over time, with a rise in crashes into both motorcycles and emergency vehicles, perhaps due to its over reliance on defective AI.

Notably, the first Tesla driverless fatality in 2016 was into the back of a huge high visibility service vehicle flashing its lights.
