"I was a proud Tesla owner a few months ago. I was certain that I had invested in a reliable and safe car, in a brand that pioneers the future. My faith was shaken though when autopilot went horribly wrong, leading to a harrowing event," Seneca Musoka wrote on LinkedIn. Musoka originally planned to buy a Tesla Model X as his "dream car," but the model's price tag was too high. He settled for a Tesla Model 3.Musoka said he went on an "ordinary" drive in his new car and listened to music. His Tesla Model 3 hummed in autopilot mode. "But in a blink, it all went sideways -- quite literally. My Tesla abruptly veered off the road. It wasn't just a slight drift or a wrong turn. My car sped up with an unnerving suddenness, the acceleration was immediate. Before I could process what was happening, the car was hurtling down an em...
