Ars Technica · 3 hours ago

The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed that a Tesla driver who blamed a fatal crash on autopilot actually pressed the accelerator to 100 percent before impact, contradicting his initial claim to police. Electronic data showed the driver manually overrode Full Self Driving in the moments before the crash in a residential area. The findings support Tesla's assertion that the feature was disengaged by the driver, not at fault for the collision that killed a grandmother.
