Tesla Model 3 crashes into bus in Rui’an, kills one

A crash involving a Tesla in China raised questions about the reliability of the car's Autopilot driving-assistance programme.

A video of the incident shows a Tesla Model 3 crashing in Rui'an in Zhejiang Province, China, killing the passenger and critically injuring the driver of the Tesla. 

A bus, an electric bicycle and three other cars were also damaged.

Rumour quickly spread that the Tesla's brake lights were not showing during the accident, suggesting that the car's Autopilot driver-assist function may have been engaged.

Tesla said it would co-operate with investigators to discover what happened.
