San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said his Tesla was in Autopilot mode during the July 14 car accident that left him with serious injuries, including a concussion and fractured bones. Speaking at his first training camp press conference on Saturday, Shanahan explained he was on a slow drive when his phone slipped; with the car on Autopilot, he turned to retrieve it, taking his eyes off the road. He said he spoke to players about the lessons learned, stating, “I didn’t, like, sit there and feel like I had to — I didn’t have, like, a ton of guilt over it or anything... But you realize how quick and close that stuff can happen. And when you’re going at 20 miles an hour, you’re not really — and you’re on autopilot — I obviously have zero worries.” He added, “I’ve had autopilot for nine years, so I’m pretty comfortable with it and who knows what happened when I turned around? Whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked it off? That’s something I don’t know yet. But regardless, it is always your fault, whether you’re on autopilot or not.” NFL fans reacted skeptically and mockingly on social media, with some accusing him of shifting blame toward the technology and Elon Musk, despite Shanahan accepting ultimate responsibility.
