I don't know, but maybe, just maybe cars have always run into the back of emergency service vehicles due to driver inattention. In fact, even killing the emergency service personnel.
Maybe the possibility is a combination of:
1) The media only report when a Tesla crashes into one
2) The driver often blames autopilot thinking that will mean they are, somehow, not responsible
3) Commentards love stories about Teslas having issue on Autopilot and rather than look at whether they are statistically safer or whether, because fo the amount of Teslas on the road, this is actually newsworthy anymore, they lap it up which keeps #1 going.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
