The Los Angeles Police Department said they received calls of the crash at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Centinela Avenue around 7:35 p.m. …the man identified as 53-year-old Karsten Gopinath was driving his Telsa heading westbound on Olympic Boulevard, at the time of the crash. Gopinath collided with another vehicle turning left onto Centinela Avenue, the LAPD said. […] At least six other vehicles were involved in the crash. Gopinath was pronounced dead at the scene.

Emergency responders already are strained by Tesla rapidly increasing dangerous crashes. A remotely centrally controlled political robot company potentially causing a huge chemical fire every day or worse. Can your town or city handle it?

Key Observations: Data clearly shows that both serious incidents (orange line) and fatal incidents (pink line) are increasing at a steeper rate than the fleet size growth (blue line). This is particularly evident from 2021 onwards, where: Fleet size (blue) shows a linear growth of about 1x per year. Serious incidents (orange) show an exponential growth curve, reaching nearly 5x by 2024. Fatal incidents (pink) also show a steeper-than-linear growth, though not as dramatic as serious incidents. The divergence between the blue line (fleet growth) and the incident lines (orange and pink) indicates that incidents are indeed accelerating faster than the production/deployment of new vehicles.
