Tesla Driver's Claim of Autopilot Involvement in Doctor's Hit-and-Run Investigated

An Edina man initially denied killing a doctor in a hit-and-run near Lake Mille Lacs but later told investigators that if he did, he might have been on autopilot and checking emails in his Tesla. Search warrant affidavits have been filed to search his email account and cellphone data, as suspicions about his involvement have surfaced. Charges have yet to be filed, and the man's attorney expressed his client's remorse for the accident.
