In what engineers are calling a breakthrough in artificial deaf-and-blindness, a Tesla automobile has successfully ignored bright red traffic signals and crashed into the broadside of a big yellow school bus in Visalia, California.

The infamously flammable vehicle, apparently believing that large yellow rectangles are merely suggestions, demonstrated its commitment to ignoring basic road safety by collecting a complete set: red light, school bus, and common sense, all in one maneuver from the future of transit.

The company’s mostly alien and foreign-visa engineering team (unable to quit the horrible company without being deported from America) have mastered the art of not seeing things that any distracted toddler could still identify. It is said they now are working on their next breakthrough: convincing investors that crashing into a clearly marked SCHOOL bus is all part of their genius valuation plan.

A crash between a Visalia Unified school bus and a Tesla caused major damage after the car allegedly ran a stop light on Wednesday, the Visalia Police Department said. According to Visalia Police, the crash happened around 2:20 p.m. at the intersection of Akers Street and Ferguson Avenue in Visalia.

Industry experts note this is merely the latest achievement in Tesla’s ongoing mission to transform “autopilot” from a reassuring term into an anxiety trigger.

This is a repeat problem with Tesla, due to their CEO spending far too much time censoring liberal speech and erasing any criticism of his ballooning technical debt, instead of actually paying bills and well, paying attention.

His latest act has been throwing fist fulls of dollars at American and German politicians, hoping they’ll be as blind to Tesla failures as his cars are to pedestrians. When asked about such mounting safety concerns, the CEO of Tesla pointed to his mountain of campaign receipts from anti-woke politicians and suggested that if American school buses don’t want to get hurt, they shouldn’t dress so provocatively yellow.
