Forget Cars — Would You Ever Trust A Driverless Ambulance?

Not long after this spring’s controversy when a Florida man died while his Tesla’s autopilot feature was in use, a man in Missouri claimed that his Tesla Model X helped save his life. Joshua Neally, a Springfield, MO-area lawyer, was on his way home from work when he was suddenly overcome by sharp pains in his chest and abdomen, pains that he would later learn was a pulmonary embolism, reports KY3 News. Neally directed his Tesla to the closest hospital and let autopilot take over the driving. He made it to the hospital in time to be treated for this potentially fatal condition, and the incident is being touted as a strong counterpoint to those decrying the safety of driverless vehicles.
