The Amazon cargo plane that crashed in Miami nearly hit a parking lot full of Tesla Cybercabs
"Weird," Elon Musk responded to an X post noting that the plane almost crashed into a fleet of his new Cybercabs.
An Amazon cargo plane crashed in Miami near a parking lot filled with Tesla Cybercabs, killing at least five people and injuring five more. The Boeing 767 overshot the runway at Miami International Airport after an Aug. 7 crash, coming to a halt just short of the lot. The Cybercabs, which have been in use in Austin since last week, have not yet been officially introduced in Miami.
Weather conditions, including thunderstorms and gusting winds, were reported at the time of the crash. The plane, operated by 21 Air, flew from Puerto Rico to Miami after overshooting the runway. A nearby road was crossed by the aircraft before it struck a truck. Weather and road conditions are under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has launched an inquiry into Tesla's usage of the robotaxis.
Tesla has not confirmed plans to test or deploy Cybercabs in Miami, but the company's robotaxis have been available in the city since July.
