Conductor de Tesla anula FSD y provoca choque mortal en Texas

Un Tesla Model 3 en modo de asistencia al conductor chocó contra una casa en Katy, Texas, matando a la residente de 76 años, Martha Avila. Yahoo informó que el vehículo salió de la carretera y golpeó la vivienda mientras el conductor, Michael Butler, resultó herido pero no fue acusado. ABC13 Houston señaló que el conductor afirmó que el Autopilot estaba activado en el momento del impacto y que la policía investigaba la pérdida de control de velocidad. The New York Times añadió que los investigadores no encontraron indicios de intoxicación del conductor.

Electrek y NewsNation reportaron que funcionarios del condado de Harris estaban examinando si el sistema de autopilot estaba activo durante la colisión mortal. TechCrunch informó posteriormente que Tesla disputaba el papel del sistema de asistencia, diciendo que su análisis mostraba que el conductor aceleró manualmente a fondo. Electrek citó a Tesla confirmando que el sistema Full Self-Driving estaba activo y que el conductor pisó a fondo el acelerador, haciendo que el coche alcanzara aproximadamente 73 mph.
