    The reason this crash was so severe is because the crash attenuator, a highway safety barrier designed to reduce the impact into a concrete lane divider, had been crushed in a prior accident without being replaced.

    April 2, 2018— The vehicle in a fatal crash last week in California was operating on Autopilot, making it the latest accident to involve a semi-autonomous vehicle, Tesla confirmed.
