Tesla’s ‘Autopilot’ failure claims two more lives in US

@the_news_21

In what could be another Autopilot mode failure, two people were killed in a fiery Tesla crash in Texas with no one in the driver’s seat.

Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman told Houston Television station KPRC 2 that the investigation showed “no one was driving” the fully electric 2019 Tesla when the accident happened.

“There was a person in the passenger seat of the front of the car and in the rear passenger seat of the car,” the report quoted Herman as saying on Sunday.

Herman said it took firefighters nearly four hours and more than 30,000 gallons of water to extinguish the blaze.

Normally when the fire department arrives, they have the vehicle fire in control in minutes, but this went on close to four hours,” according to a KHOU 11 report.

At one point, crews had to call Tesla to ask how to put the fire out. Preliminary reports suggest the car was travelling at a high speed and failed to make a turn, then drove off the road into a tree.

It’s not yet clear whether the car had its Autopilot driver-assist system activated.

Tesla was yet to react to the deadly incident.
