The car was in “Smart Summon” mode when it ran into the jet. The feature was introduced by Tesla in 2019 and is still a beta feature.
A Reddit user with the username u/smiteme said they witnessed the event and posted a video of the incident to the platform.
The footage shows a driverless Tesla crashing into a Cirrus Vision Jet at Felt Fields Airport in Spokane, Washington. The airport did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment made outside normal working hours.
Cirrus Aircraft confirmed to Insider that the plane was a Cirrus Vision Jet priced between $3 million to $3.5 million and belonged to a customer, who it was unable to identify. It is unclear how much damage the car or plane sustained in the incident.
