Tesla Hit A Tree And Caught Fire And Killed Two People! U.S. Regulators: It Has Caused Confusion To The Public And Will Release A Report As Soon As Possible

A few days ago, according to media reports, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Deputy Director Christine Poland said in an interview: “The preliminary report is usually released within a month, but we are working hard to release it as soon as possible because we are aware of this. The accident has caused confusion to the public.” The regulator also said that this report will be based on solid facts.

Earlier, on April 19, Beijing time, Saturday night, US time, a Tesla S car crashed in Spring, Texas, resulting in two deaths.



It is understood that the accident occurred at 11:25 in the evening. At that time, the Tesla was passing a curve at high speed. For some reason, it drove off the road, crossed the grass and hit a big tree, causing a fire. Two passengers in the car died, one sitting in the front passenger seat and the other sitting in the back seat. The deceased were 59 and 69 years old.



The police told the media that there was no one in the driving seat when the car was driving. The owner was sitting in the back seat at the time of the incident, and the 69-year-old victim was sitting in the passenger seat. According to people familiar with the matter, the two went out at the time, ready to try Tesla's autopilot function.



But strangely, for this fatal car accident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk denied on Twitter that it was caused by his company's FSD (Fully Autonomous Driving) because the vehicle did not purchase the service. And standard autonomous driving requires road lane lines, but this road does not.



However, the official report was that the two people in the car were trying the "autopilot function" at the time of the incident. Then, between Musk and the official report, which party said the truth.
