Tesla Driver Pressed Wrong Pedal In Fatal China Crash, Data Suggests | Carscoops carscoops
has repeatedly come under fire in recent years, but it appears that in at least one high-profile fatal accident the cause was nothing more than old-fashioned driver error. Data published online in China by Xiao Te, a Tesla owner, suggests the driver simply pressed the wrong pedal.
Critics were quick to blame Tesla’s Autopilot system, or brake failure, after the November incident, in which at least one person died and multiple others were left injured when a Model Y tore down a Chaozhou street at high speed. On heartbreaking footage stitched together using clips from multiple security cameras the EV can be seen pulling onto the road then accelerating violently, swerving past motorcyclists and other vehicles, clipping one persondelivery pickup, obliterating it, and finally skidding off the road into a building.
The 55 year-old driver, who survived the crash and was found not have consumed drink or drugs, was quoted inas saying there was an issue with the car’s brake pedal. It wasn’t the first time a Tesla owner in China has accused a Tesla of having faulty brakes, but in one other case a complainant was ordered to apologize when the facts failed to back up their grievance.
