California doctor 'purposefully drove' Tesla off cliff with family inside: affidavit

As a news writer, I came across an article titled “California doctor ‘purposefully drove’ Tesla off cliff with family inside: affidavit” that caught my attention. According to the affidavit filed by police, a California doctor named Dr. Jennifer Hartstein intentionally drove her Tesla off a cliff with her family inside. Despite the car’s autopilot feature preventing it from going over 85 mph, the car was reportedly going at speeds of 90 mph as it went off the cliff.

Hartstein’s husband and two children were tragically killed, and investigators initially believed the accident was a tragic event. However, investigators found evidence indicating that Hartstein intentionally drove off the cliff, including text messages, video audio recordings, as well as other statements from family members and friends.

Hartstein, who was found responsible for the deaths of her entire family, was arrested and charged with three counts of murder. The article notes that this incident raises questions regarding the role of technology in driving and whether it can completely prevent accidents from happening.

As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience or knowledge on the topic. However, this article highlights a growing concern about the ethical and legal implications of self-driving cars and how far technology can be trusted to keep us safe. It is a reminder that while technology has made many aspects of our life more convenient, human error and intent can still have deadly consequences.
