Tesla’s autopilot helps get man to the hospital during medical emergency

Joshua Neally's brand-new Tesla Model X didn't exactly save his life when he started having severe chest pains, but it helped him get most of the way to a hospital.

The 37-year-old was driving in his electric car from his law office in Springfield, Missouri, when the air was sucked from his lungs and he felt a sudden biting pain in his chest - a blocked artery in his lungs. Distracted by the pain and still in traffic, he let the car's controversial autopilot carry him down the road toward a hospital.
