Tesla accident: Elon Musk says autopilot was not activated



Four days after the tragedy that claimed the lives of two people in Texas, the words of the founder of the brand are surprising.

On Saturday April 17, an accident involving a Tesla car killed two people in Texas. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Tesla was driving at high speed when it crashed into a tree, but investigators had found only two deceased passengers: one was in the passenger seat and the other in one of the seats. back. A version that is not really to the taste of the CEO of the brand, Elon Musk who cracked a tweet on April 19. He was responding to an Internet user who questioned him about this accident. "Data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled & this car did not purchase FSD.", he says at first, before adding: "Moreover, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have."

FSD (Full Self Driving) technology was tested by a few Tesla owners called "beta testers" last fall. This is a device that should ultimately allow the brand to offer fully autonomous driving. In his tweet, Elon Musk also attacked the Wall Street Journal, accusing it of doing low-level journalism: "Your research as a private individual is better than professionals @WSJ! " he said. launched.

A search at Tesla?

But these remarks surprise more than one, starting with witnesses who would have seen the vehicle moving without anyone in the driver's seat. Quoted by our colleagues, a police officer announces that searches will take place in the company in order to collect more information on the car that crashed on April 17. He further adds, "If he's tweeting that, if he's already released the data, he hasn't told us about it. We are anxiously awaiting that data."

After the accident, investigators had not yet determined whether the driver's seat airbag had deployed and whether the vehicle's driver assistance system was engaged at the time of the collision. Tesla always warns that its driver assistance systems do not make the car "autonomous". A driver must always be present in the car, at least in front of the steering wheel. Further investigation will establish who is telling the truth in this case.
