Edit: Removed an unrelated bus crash news article. Leaving the video and a second Tesla V Bus accident.

Breaking: Tesla collides with school bus in Upper Dublin Township, reports say

The driver was reportedly trapped inside the vehicle. No students were reportedly on the bus

Emergency crews were dispatched to the area of Pinetown Road near Susquehanna Road late Monday afternoon for a vehicle rescue after a Tesla reportedly collided into a school bus in Upper Dublin Township, according to reports.

No students were reportedly on the bus at the time of the incident, which occurred at 4:47 p.m.

A Tesla and multiple other vehicles were involved in the incident, according to reports. At least one driver was transported to an area hospital with unknown injuries.

The two news articles appear to be two bus crashes within days with different details.

1. Why does title say 8 kids sent to hospital?

[TheBlackAdder]

3. The YouTube video states that 8 kids were sent to the hospital with varying injuries.

I tried to find the new article about it. The first one is not a Tesla at all. The second one is another Tesla bus crash that did not have any school bus children involved.

5. Ty so much! Fking tesla junk & idiot drivers who think they are driving a video game controller!

21. Perhaps Autopilot is coded like Deathrace 2000. You get more points for kids and the elderly.

Women - 10 points each
Teenagers - 40 points each
Toddlers under 12 - 70 points each
Anyone over 75 - 100 points each

22. Sounds a out for fleaon's nightmare junk cars.

2. oops....didn't read the second story.

[durablend]

4. Musk: "If the bus weren't there, this never would've happened"

[buzzycrumbhunger]

6. I'd like to know why they haven't been forced to recall these...

Looks like a Tesla is 17 times more dangerous than a damned Pinto was, and they got those off the road pretty quickly!

[druidity33]

13. well...

is one of those fatalities the guy who blew himself up with fireworks in front of the casino? If so... i'd discount that one. Only brings it down to 11.62 though.

[WarGamer]

18. Even that is untrue...

One of those fatalities was the suicide in Vegas... coroner called cause of death as self inflicted gunshot wound.

If the person who made the graph screwed that up... how can you trust any of it?

[BoRaGard]

7. This is a grand metaphor for the freaking anti-American G.O.P.

with their greedhead kristofascist plots and reign of idiotic whiney vengeance.

[Deuxcents]

8. If ya cannot drive a car or ya don't want to drive a car, then call for Uber or some other transportation

These driverless vehicles are not safe and should only be on test tracks, if that. Vehicles are meant to be driven by a driver..a human driver

[central scrutinizer]

9. Shouldn't that be "Braking News"

Not “breaking news”

[Nimble_Idea]

10. CIVIL SUIT IMMEDIATELY

[progressoid]

11. AI generated video.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Seems Like Clickbait

The Tesla involved crash was with a bus with no kids. It couldn't have sent 8 children to the hospital.
The crash that sent kids to the hospital wasn't a Tesla, as far as I can tell.
It's like 2 stories were conflated to create a headline.

[WarGamer]

17. This isn't helpful to the community...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Another fucking AI-generated image not labelled as such. It is disreputable to post that way

It disrepects the victims, as if the children would be too stupid to exit the bus by either exit or by windows.

[Hekate]

15. The still photo of the vid you posted is an AI creation unrelated to the article? Is that correct?

Please don’t do that.

[WarGamer]

16. I can't find a legitimate link verifying ANY of this.

All I can find is the tesla model 3 (not a cybertruck like in the YT clip) hit a school bus with no passengers onboard... no one injured.

Got a link? To a Tesla on Auto Pilot hitting a bus sending 8 kids to the hospital?

[Bluetus]

24. "All I can find ..." Isn't that enough?

"All I can find is the tesla model 3 (not a cybertruck like in the YT clip) hit a school bus with no passengers onboard... no one injured. "

I certainly agree we should make every effort to stick with the facts, and this thread seems to be a real mess. And that is a shame because if we just go with the verifiable facts, we have:

* A product that has not passed ANY safety testing by ANY government agency
* Has had endless promises over a 10-year period
* Has had dozens of verified fatalities as a result of the faulty feature
* Is now going to be put on the roads without ANY driver
* The latest version still makes major mistakes frequently
* And doesn't handle everyday cases like yielding to a school bus with its stop sign deployed (according to this very recent anonymous post.)

19. oh my god why do people insist on posting slop here, have some respect

[sl8]

20. The beginning of the posted video was taken from a different story from almost 3 years ago

In the real incident, the school bus backed into the Tesla.

Like other posters have pointed out, no other news source is reporting the story told by OP's video. It appears that the video was "repurposed" from old video of an actual event, with a false narrative added.

23. Clickbait garbage.

But the recs tell a story.
