The police reported that the Model 3 “failed to drive in a single lane, left the roadway and struck the residence” at a “high rate of speed.” The crash involved a woman, Martha Avila, who was inside the house. She was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead “due to injuries she sustained from the crash,” police said. The police release said there were “no signs of intoxication” from the driver, who was also cooperative during the investigation.
Reserving judgement until I see details. Specifically, steering wheel input data and accelerator pedal data. A map of the incident with timestamps would also help.
The driver had the accelerator pressed all the way down. You can do this, but the screen says “autopilot will not brake” and lets you go all the way to 90 MPH. So this is 100% the driver’s fault.
I’m sure BigBalls is massaging the data as we speak.
