WASHINGTON: Texas police will serve search warrants on Tesla Inc today to secure data from a vehicle that crashed on the weekend, killing two people, a senior officer told Reuters yesterday.
“If he is tweeting that out, if he has already pulled the data, he hasn’t told us that,” Herman told Reuters.“We have witness statements from people that said they left to test drive the vehicle without a driver and to show the friend how it can drive itself,” Herman added. Musk added that “standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have”.
Just hours before the crash, Musk had tweeted: “Tesla with Autopilot engaged now approaching 10 times lower chance of accident than average vehicle.”The crash occurred amid increased scrutiny of Tesla’s semi-automated Autopilot driving system.Last month, the NHTSA told Reuters it had opened 27 special investigations into crashes of Tesla vehicles, 23 of which remain active, in crashes believed to have been tied to Autopilot use.Its shares closed down 3.4% yesterday before picking up 1.
