The Reno Heart Attack (August 2024)On August 25th in Reno, Nevada, an owner suffered a heart attack (infarct) while at work. Since he was unable to drive, he climbed into his electric car and activated the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which autonomously navigated the roads to the nearest hospital. Shortly after arriving, the man suffered cardiac arrest, but was successfully resuscitated on the operating table. The survivor, who is currently recovering after undergoing open-heart surgery on November 14th, posted on X that his Tesla FSD "literally saved my life". The sources note that while an autonomous car can assist in such grave emergencies, an ambulance remains the optimal choice.2.
