‘Autopilot’ hit-run driver sentenced to nine months after Melbourne crash [Video]

A woman who lied to police about her Tesla being on autopilot when she hit a pedestrian has been sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment.

She returned two hours later and was arrested by police.

For two years Agrawal fought the charges of dangerous driving causing injury and failing to stop after an accident, falsely claiming the car had failed to stop while on autopilot mode and that the victim jumped in front of the car.

Investigations into the car’s data and mechanics found no record of braking, that a collision alarm sounded for at least one second and the car had no mechanical faults.

Witness testimony said Lagos was thrown “into the air as high as a stop sign” and came to rest on the road eight to 10 metres from the point of impact.
