The car is said to have started to burn violently after the crash, and after several hours of trying to put out the fire, the fire crews had to let the car burn out.
The Guardian writes that the car inspectorate in the USA in March opened an investigation into 27 accidents that involved Tesla vehicles.
Tesla CEO Elon Mus said in January that he expects a good effect from the automated pilot system, and that he is confident that in a few years their cars will be able to drive themselves safer than cars with a human driver.
