    About 60 miles in, the self-driving Tesla hit a metal girder lying in the road. It was a very visible piece of debris that the car’s cameras completely ignored. The driver, who goes by “Bearded Tesla Guy” on YouTube, only intervened at the last second, after the vehicle had already become briefly airborne. The suspension was wrecked, and the sway bar bracket was broken.
