There’s an important buried lede in this tragic news.

Three people are dead and one is injured after a solo vehicle crash early Wednesday, police say.

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed at Hampton road and King Avenue just after 3 a.m., in Piedmont, California.

Piedmont Police Captain Chris Monahan said that the truck “jumped the curb, struck a cement wall, and then wedged in between the wall and a tree.”

And now here’s the important part.

An iPhone from inside the vehicle notified police of the crash.

Tesla can’t even engineer basic crash response technology right, as I’ve written about here before. It seems one person survived instead of being burned alive because someone had an iPhone with them.

To be fair, friends of the victims were in a car following the Tesla and immediately started removing the survivor. But the Police make it crystal clear that it was Apple engineers who did the right and good thing and Tesla… did not.

An iPhone that was inside the Cybertruck automatically alerted 9-1-1 at 3:08 a.m. to the crash and provided coordinates of its location, the Piedmont Police Department said.
