Has the UK encountered accidents with Tesla's autonomous vehicle system ?
Concerning autonomous systems in general, this is a very active area of interest. The UK Safety Critical Systems Club (SCSC) at the University of York has an autonomous systems working group which has published a report (SCSC153B). YOu can find a link at https://scsc.uk/ga and join the group if you are appropriately qualified. The Royal Academy of Engineering has published two recent reports, The Journey to an Autonomous Transport System (summary of a roundtable discussion) in December 2020 at https://www.raeng.org.uk/publications/reports/the-journey-to-an-autonomous-transport-system and and overview of a project the RAEng has, with IET as a partner, on the Safety and Ethics of Autonomous Systems in June 2020 at https://www.raeng.org.uk/publications/reports/safety-and-ethics-of-autonomous-systems . To answer the question specifically, a Google search did not turn up recent reports of accidents involving active Autopilot in the UK. Reuters reported an Tesla incident with injuries in August 2021 on the grounds of a school, at https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/six-injured-self-driving-tesla-crashes-school-car-park-southern-england-2021-08-16/ and the BBC reported it at https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-58234999 ; I take it to be unlikely that the car was under Autopilot control at the time.
