After the responding officer activated emergency lights on their vehicle, the Tesla automatically began to accelerate.

Yes it did, and they explained it well in the article:
Vehicles that were ahead of the Tesla moved out of the way, but the Tesla began accelerating, Turnbull said.
"Nobody appeared to be in the car, but the vehicle sped up because the line was clear in front."
The responding officer obtained radar readings on the vehicle, confirming that it had automatically accelerated to exactly 150 km/h.

The idiot driver set the max speed to 150km/h and took a nap. The Tesla will keep going with traffic as long as the speed is lower than 150km/h. If there is no traffic, it stays in the lane at 150km/h. Must be an older autopilot generation or he rigged the steering wheel to detect hands on it...either way, user error.

This is purposely worded to imply the Tesla automatically sped away because the cop turned on his lights.

No lies detected.
After the responding officer activated emergency lights on their vehicle, the Tesla automatically began to accelerate, Turnbull said, even as those vehicles that were ahead of the Tesla on the highway moved out of the way.
