This ABC30 news report from Fresno kind of says it all.

CHP responded to State Route 296, just north of Ford Avenue, outside Coalinga, just before 1:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Officers say a man was driving a truck in the southbound lane when the driver of a Tesla heading northbound went into the southbound lane. A passenger inside the Tesla died at the scene. Both drivers were taken to Community Regional Medical Center with significant injuries.

It’s unknown why the man driving the Tesla was in the wrong lane. Authorities don’t believe alcohol or drugs are factors in the crash.

CHP responding to a head-on collision around 0130 on a straight rural highway? Autopilot is suspected. Another report puts the crash time closer to 0030.

For reasons yet to be determined, officers say the Tesla veered into the southbound lane, directly in the path of the GMC. The driver of the Tesla reportedly attempted to avoid crashing, however, the GMC ultimately collided with the passenger side of the Tesla.

The driver tried to avoid crashing? A truck doing nothing wrong “ultimately collided” with a Tesla driving at high speed into its path? That’s a weird way to frame fault for a robot driving head-on into traffic. Apparently the Tesla owner has claimed he fought with his robot for control, similar to design failures that caused the Boeing 737MAX tragedies.
