A US driver made it to hospital while suffering a pulmonary embolism after putting his car into autopilot.<\/p>\n

Joshua Neally was driving his Tesla Model X home from his office in the US city of Springfield, Missouri, to nearby Branson.<\/p>\n

But after pulling onto the highway, he started suffering piercing pain in his stomach and chest.<\/p>\n

Rather than call an ambulance, the lawyer decided to find a hospital using his car’s self-driving mode.<\/p>\n

\"Tesla<\/div>\n

Around 20 miles (32km) down the road, the 37-year-old’s Tesla arrived at the road leading to the hospital emergency department.<\/p>\n

He told Slate that he manually steered the electric vehicle in to the car park and checked himself in to the emergency room.<\/p>\n

A pulmonary embolism is a potentially fatal obstruction of a blood vessel in the lungs.<\/p>\n

Doctors say he was lucky to survive it while driving.<\/p>\n

\"Joshua<\/p>\n

Joshua Neally says he decided to use autopilot to get to a hospital after talking to his wife on the phone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tesla’s autopilot, which automatically changes lanes and reacts to traffic, is under the microscope in America after it was involved in two crashes.<\/p>\n

A man died in Florida after the driver-assist function in his Tesla Model S failed to detect a lorry in its path in May.<\/p>\n

\"Crashed<\/div>\n

Then last month a driver was unhurt after his Model X car crashed after swerving to hit wooden rails next to a two-lane road in Montana.<\/p>\n

The electric carmaker suggested that the function wasn’t being used correctly at the time of the second accident.<\/p>\n

The use of the technology is being investigated by the US road safety watchdog, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>\n

\"Tesla<\/div>\n

But Joshua Neally says he was happy to use the autopilot function and thinks it will save lives.<\/p>\n

“I’m very thankful I had it for this experience,” Joshua told local news station KY3.<\/p>\n

“If something like that happens where I become unconscious or incapacitated while I’m driving, I’m not going to cross over the interstate and slam into somebody or slam into one of the big rock walls.”<\/p>\n
