A Melbourne woman has been sentenced to nine
months in jail after falsely blaming the autopilot feature in her Tesla for a
hit-and-run that left a 26-year-old woman with permanent brain injuries.
Sakshi Agrawl struck a young nurse when she stepped out into the road to board a tram in Melbourne’s inner southeast.
She spent two years fighting the dangerous driving charges falsely blaming the car’s autopilot feature before entering a guilty plea last month.
The plea comes after a police investigation revealed the autopilot
option was switched off just 30 seconds before the incident occurred and the
vehicle sped up to 80 kilometres an hour afterwards.
