U.S. agency probing two fatal Tesla crashes in Florida since last Sunday

WASHINGTON - U.S. authorities are investigating a fatal Tesla Inc Model S crash in Florida last Sunday that killed the driver and caused a massive fire, the second fatal Tesla crash in the state this week being probed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Saturday.

A NHTSA spokesman confirmed Saturday the agency has an “ongoing investigation” into the Sunday Tesla crash in Davie, Florida, and “will take additional actions if appropriate.”The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Monday the 2016 Tesla Model S caught fire and burned the 48-year-old driver beyond recognition. The newspaper said the Tesla battery repeatedly caught fire after being transported to a towing facility.

A report on Friday’s crash released by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department did not indicate if Autopilot was engaged in the crash that killed the 50-year-old Tesla Model 3 owner. Some Tesla drivers say they are able to avoid putting their hands on the wheel for extended periods when using Autopilot, while Tesla advises drivers that they must keep their hands on the steering wheel and pay attention while using Autopilot.

The NTSB said in 2017 Tesla lacked proper safeguards allowing the driver “to use the system outside of the environment for which it was designed and the system gave far too much leeway to the driver to divert his attention.”

How many Ford chevrolet Toyota NissanUSA Chrysler Honda fatal accidents have there been since last Sunday?

They should start by making them change the name. Shouldn’t be “autopilot” if it’s not truly autonomous and killing people who think it is autonomous. $TSLA $TSLAQ

The high performance features of such electric cars, needs to be harnessed and managed for the safety of the public. If not there will be many more accidents involving unregulated electric cars.

I bet no one died in a Toyota in that same time period.

we’ll take the bus

Cars crash. Woopdedoo
