1641215806502752257 | @wsdot_traffic @wspd2pio @wastatepatrol Probably had Full Self Driving mode active. $TSLA Full Self Driving is designed to attack emergency responders. @NHTSAgov says this is ok. Did the workers have lights active? Maybe it's safer to disable warning lights until NHTSA leadership is replaced. https://t.co/wbqsvOiga0 | 4 |
