Tesla Autopilot in Fatal Texas Crash | Canada News

from Canada News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A Tesla Model 3 slammed into a Texas home at over 70 mph, killing 76-year-old Martha Avila — and the driver claims autopilot was on. But NTSB data reveals he manually floored the accelerator, raising serious questions about Tesla’s self-driving tech. The family is suing Tesla and the driver for over $1 million, citing design flaws and lack of warnings. Tesla’s VP and Elon Musk both confirmed the driver’s actions, but regulators are now digging deeper — as Tesla pushes forward with its autonomous ambitions amid mounting scrutiny.
