A second Tesla Model 3 2020 driver died after being rear-ended while stopped in a lane on the Loop 202 freeway in Arizona, with the Autopilot or Full Self-Driving system engaged. The crash occurred at 3 a.m. on October 31, 2025. Tesla reported to NHTSA that the vehicle was stopped at 0 mph and the system was verified engaged, but redacted key details such as the crash narrative, software version, and whether the road was within the system's approved operating area. This is the second similar case in October 2025, the first one in Florida, both involving drivers killed after stopping in a lane

📈 Upside: Not applicable.
